Filtration

Even with the new engine in place, along with an all new cooling system, I still had some issues and bugs to take care of. One of them was the builder of the engine never cleaned the sludge out of the cooling system from when the block was dunked and cleaned. This resulted in my brand new radiator getting clogged, my water pump getting ruined, and my having to install this, a filter for the cooling system.
To clean the system I took a five gallon bucket and put a sump pump in it, I then hooked it to the radiator hoses and "backflushed" the entire cooling system for 5 minutes. The gunk that came out turned the water in the bucket black. A cut up stocking was placed over the outflow from the engine and gobs of nasty gunk was caught. Now she runs like a top!
