Radiator Filter

[imacrazy]

How can I filter sediments from block after flushing, from entering
my newly cleaned radiator.

Flush the block no filter needed. JMHO

If you use a Gano filter in the upper radiator hose, that will allow you to trap any crud from the block from getting into the radiator. A Gano filter has a see-thru plastic area with 2 screens in it that lets you know when a lot of crud is trapped so you can clean the filter. Gano's website is: http://www.ganofilters.com. I have 2 of the Gano filters and they work great. I sure wouldn't just run the engine without some type for filter to keep the rust, etc from getting into the radiator.

Do you have the filter below or above the thermostat?

I wouldn't buy the plastic filter, you don't need to see what's in there all the time and it's just 2 more places to leak. Unless You have a lot of debris, remove it once a year and clean it out. If you have a thermostat I'd put it in the upper hose above the thermostat.

Gano filter? I prefer the more economical Playtex filter, used pantyhose, that is.

Just put an old sock in it for awhile, catch the crud, then toss it. You don’t need a filter in there once the lumps are out. You don’t want you new rad to be a $400 filter.

Too easy for the rust to slide back down into the engine when the ignition is turned off with the nylon sock method. The Gano is brass mesh built like an Asian fish trap.
