Coolant Filters

[mbulriss]

I added the pictures in the Photos section in an albumn
named "Coolant Filter Modifcation". The pics are fairly self
explanatory by themselves. The write up is in the Files under Engine
Coolant Filter Installation with a link directly to the pictures or
follow this link to the pics:

My pdf maker is not working this evening. When I repair it, I will
add the pics to the write up and make a pdf out of it that is small
enough to load as a single complete document. In the meantime, I
wanted to get the info that Curt was so good to submit posted for
folks to see.

Thanks very much to Curt for this information!!
