 Have heating problems with my 289 so used a radiator flush and it broke loose some residue from inside my engine and radiator. Some of the residue as I can see is stuck in my radiator cooling tubes restricting flow and that worsens my problem. Now I am going to remove the radiator and take it too a radiator shop to have it disassembled, cleaned and flushed..... I would like to get some kind of filter to install between my engine and top radiator intake to catch residue before it enters the radiator. Does anyone know if a filter is available to do this?

Hey Beachbum they are called Gano filters and they work real nice. they have a plastic type and a bronze type choose which one you want and use to protect you radiator.
Good luck  ------------------

I've used one... just be sure to keep an eye on it. They get plugged easily, so they need cleaned every so often.Good Luck! ------------------

Yeah, I use a gano filter on my mustang. I get a good amount of debris sometimes. I recommend it, don't expect flow problems. Especially when yo trap and get rid of the debris with the filter. Instead of letting it get into the radiator.------------------
