More concerned about o-ring failure in the stack of plates, and that the one piece billet item i have currently has ports for pre/post cooler temp sensors which the perrin lacked. My plan is to fit an in-line thermostat, but haven't yet gotten around to it. This car is not my daily so I do not find it an inconvenience at the moment to allow it to idle up close to temp before i take it out. But yeah, the plan is to go back to thermostated before the cooler weather comes.
