As Atlantic British were finally kind enough to replace my clogged radiator, I had purchased a coolant filter too. (not from them) and installed it at the same time to keep the new radiator from suffering a similar fate.
(yes, it is backwards in this pic)
After half an hour of running...
I already have close to a 800 miles on this engine already.. so imagine what was floating around the coolant when it first got back on the road.
oh wait.. you don't
Yuck.
Your threads frustrate me. I can feel it comin on as I read.
(Don't take that the wrong way, I'm frustrated FOR you!)
I am extremely frustrated and getting very pissed about the whole matter. I feel like I am builder's "quality control" here
I am jealous of your coolant filter. It is cheaper than replacing the radiator every couple of years. (Or suffering with running hot until finally giving up and buying a new radiator)
Backflushing only does so much.

That was a ton of money to have to put up with this crap. I'm hoping you have lot's of longevity out of this new engine, I really hope it doesn't let something go just after the warranty runs up.
