This was the thread that convinced me to buy a coolant filter. I installed mine exactly as Bjorn did.

Dabtl, After seeing the cut open filter I think I'm going to order one on Monday.This was the thread that convinced me to buy a coolant filter. I installed mine exactly as Bjorn did.
I did just exactly that. No regrets.I would also recommend putting a ball valve on the hose connections at the water manifold & water pump.
Prevents a mess when changing the filter and in the event of a leak it may get ya home.
The majority of all engine wear occurs during warmup, which is why continuiously run engines can last so long. Without a thermostat you extend the period of time for the engine to reach normal operating tempature. No thermostat equals much more wear on an engine. At times lack of a thermostat will cause an engine to overheat as the coolant does not remain in the block or radiator for a sufficient time to dissipate the heat.Any one thought about running with out the thermostat in? I pulled it out to flush out my system and it runs at a constant 140 all the time now after it warms up! It ran at 160-170 before
ok i understand but in the manual it say to pull out the thermostat for the cleaning process. so wouldn't there be damage being done then? with it out i can get hot water to come out in like 2 minuets of running.
