Coolant system filter

[clinto]

See Clinto, by now you could have read my article.

I wasn't a subscriber of MVM in 2005.

But I am now

Thanks Bjorn

NAPA chemical conditioner filter is #4073

We used to call them a perry water filter . Has a compartment for a tablet the would dissolve into the coolant system liquid and neutralize the build up of acid in the coolant.

Where can I get a copy of that article? Sounds like a great idea for the deuce and my m715.

Guys I have the coolant filters listed in my store for both SCA and non SCA filters. I also have the bases, and a kit for the M35's which have the fittings needed to tap into the engine.

How did you guys get the plugs out? I just broke my wrench on one of them...

Heating or is there another trick that would be better?

An impact is the best way to go on those plugs IMHO.

I have a hot water personnel heater of the usual kind. seeing that this filter connects where the heater goes, does the proper installation of the entire contraption look like A or B in the diagram below?

Patrick, put the filter in parallel with the heater. Think of the pressure drops across each as the voltages across resistors in a voltage divider, in series there may not be enough pressure to "operate" either one. Fig "A" above.

I'll try that in the morning- right after I return my lifetime guaranteed wrench.

Okay, got them busted loose, mounted the bracket, so all that is left is the plumbing. Before I do that I just want to be 100% sure the hose is routed to the pump housing itself right? Kinda hard to tell from the picture. Once I get that sorted out I can go buy the fittings to attach the hoses. Sorry I'm kinda retarded...

 

[cranetruck]

You run the hose from the engine side of the T-stat to the filter and then from the filter to the water pump.

Sorry for the delay in answering Patrick, its been hard keeping up with postings lately but ditto on what Bjorn said...

I am working on putting together a cable operated heater control valve assy for M35's that would shut off the heaters flow when not in use and would up the flow rate across the filter in path A... I will let you know when I get the parts together.

Mike, any chance you have the fitting on the engine side?

 

[devilman96]

Yep sure do, I include them with the kits for the M35, forged brass, not the cheap cast ones. Here is the individual listing.
