TEFBA is a good little filter that you can plum in line to catch the crud. Rare Spares has them. About $50. Well worth the price.

I've got a mate that's regretting not running one with his $900 alloy radiator....so it's cheap insurance.


Oh yeah, I've gotta pull my mini's radiator 'cos I didn't run a filter either....after I'd rebuilt it and run it 100ks......got VERY hot twice. It was simply muck clogging the radiator.

That's a bloody good idea, I'll get one of those myself when I get my next rad :)

Prevention is better than any cure, even if it only trapped a thimble full a year it'd be worth it :wink:
