Back to theese oil T stats, does anybody here know the exact design of the Hardin units? I vaguely remember looking inside the ports months ago before I installed them and wondering just how in the heck it sealed off the oil flow to the cooler. Do theese things actually block 100% of oil flow to the cooler until desired temp is reached, or just some of it? And route 100% of oil through the cooler after the oil temp rises above 212?

Yes. They are just a thermostat that has an open/close temp. When I plumbed mine, I was also told it didn't matter which way the oil flowed because of the open/close only position.

Call them and see what they say. They've always been extremely helpful to me.

I've not had a chance to meet Birdog but I have seen him a few times on the river in both his Top Gun and when he had his Bullet.
I looked at what you've done to your 28 and it really loooks great. The one I looked at a long time ago was in Florida and was just like yours but had brown trim and I think a taller windshield. I loved it but my wife didn't. Settled for a 260 Stinger at the time which was nice but no Cig.
