That should work. All this scale and crap is a whole new issue I hadn't thought about until now.
I'll bet my core will need some SERIOUS cleaning out to feel safe around this ... Jim S.

Jim,
For a “quick and dirty” experiment I think I’ll try putting a stainless steel pot-scrubber pad into my swirl pot and see what it looks like after an hour of running. This is a bypass system, so I won’t be inhibiting flow to the engine. I wish this had come up before I first ran my engine.

Ed,
I’m with Tracy (use high quality glycol & distilled water), except for some possible RTV that might break free and get stuck in one or more of the radiator tubes. Seems a good backflush would remedy that. Next time I have my cooling system apart I might take a peek inside the radiator and see if there is anything blocking the tubes. Corrective action would depend on what I find. It wouldn’t take very many blocked tubes to push some of us over the edge. Mark S.
Perhaps we could fashion a quickly removable filter and patch it into various systems for a while just to check what it picks up.
Like, I wouldn't have thought it possible to block up a whole damned radiator ... Jim S.
