Does anyone have any ideas on how one might filter coolant on an engine?
I admit I have not done any sort of google search etc. I am just putting
this out here to see if anyone has encountered such a device or has
ideas of how one might create such.
The gist of it is that I would like to
You can pick up a stainless filter housing on eBay that takes standard
filter cartridges for $100. Don't use plastic.
Any filter media will reduce the flow somewhat. Determine the largest
particle size you want floating through the system and work back from there
to get the flow rate you need.
Randy,
I am only familiar with smaller engines that use heat exchangers in
marine applications, but even with them the tubes in the heat
exchanger were easily 1/4 of an inch in diameter at least, so I can't
imagine there bring enough cruft in the engine to plug them up.
As for a coolant filter,
Ok, so what do I search for? stainless steel filter housing?

I would like to think you are correct but I don't want to over heat the
engine. I am told that is a no-no with these engines.
What I have is an old 165 HP inline 6 cylinder GM engine - 250 cid.
Basic GM block used by Mercruiser for a number of years in the 60's and
70's.
I bought a heat
Simple screen would probably work just fine, need a large surface area. Might
also install pressure gauges before and after the heat exchanger to measure the
pressure drop, if the difference in pressure is more than a few pounds, you may
have a problem.
