I’m looking at Hardin Marines remote oil filter with thermostat.
any thoughts on it & what else might I want to consider to add a thermostat to my oil system.
like to use my 3/4 npt hoses. Most thermostats I see have 1/2 ports
Bbc 632 ci engine.

How about an electric solenoid valve on the oil cooler line. Don’t open it up until the oil gets hot. Maybe 20 minutes after start up then open the valve?
So many ways to hook things up I’m going crazy with my project! I live in maine so I’m told a thermostat on the oil system is important.

if you don't get water temps up the oil stats wont help, in my personal case I tried with 2 different boats to bring both up, created nothing but work with little to no results. current boat I ran last fal as experiment with oil cooler totally bypsssed and still barely got temps to 200 on the HOT side, that's with no cooler at all, 75 degree lake water with bypasses, for oil stat to get temps up you will need at least 140-150 water temps, I see 110 max. I then figured my boat has been bypasses, no stats and no oil stats since 1987, so I put it the way it came and just go.
