Dave Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I searched our site and did not find any information on radiator coolant filters. I found several other sites where the members are using the TEFBA coolant filters. Here is one http://www.midnightdsigns.com/Mustang/Tefba%20Filter.html I ran across this interesting tip. After a new engine rebuild or a head/intake reassembly, find yourself an old nylon stocking. If you don't happen to have one in your closet, get one from your wife, girlfriend, granny, etc. Drape the stocking over the upper water neck of the radiator and install the radiator hose like you normally would. Cut off the excess nylon. After the initial run-in, with the radiator full of coolant of course, remove the upper hose after it cools down and remove the stocking. You will be amazed to see how much floating debris, bits of silicone, and other miscellaneous crud will be caught. Is there anyone here that has used a filter or is doing this?

RB26powered74zcar Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I like it. Except for the looks, I think it couldn't be anything but good for the water pump, and cooling system in general. If I could find one with AN fittings on each end, I add one on my motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2126 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Can you say, restricted flow?????? This was discussed on another forum and one of the posters said they are not intended for long term use, only to be used after an engine or coolant system overhaul.....to capture any stuff left over from the overhaul. I'd agree on the short term use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
