question on cooling system

[Bruce Plecan]

Some of the long haul stuff used to/may still use coolant filters.

My total summary of what I like about clear hose:    Nothing.

| this may sound crazy but I thought I'd ask.
| question, in working on my Chevy 350 block, (valve job), I noticed that my
| cooling system, (heater core, block) is not pristine. in accidentally
| finding some heavy hydraulic web sites, I wondered if anyone has ever
| thought of some kind of filter in the heater hoses to trap rust, scale,
etc,
| rather than letting it flow through the system.
| some of the stuff I've seen on the web, (not automotive), has been real
| impressive looking, at the very least one might use a patch of clear
tubing
| and visually see the color/flow/ air content of the coolant, might be
| interesting.
| thanks, Ted.
