After 3 changes, filter replacement can be done once a year. We recommend replacement of the first filter at 500 miles with replacement of the second and third filters is at 3,000 miles each. Radiator on said Bluesmobile started leaking the beginning of this week. If I were to not get on it at all for weeks the coolant level would stay up just fine. (The happy but tired Bluesmobile is a 1993 Ford Taurus GL, 3.0 V-6). I have had many of the same problems using copper hgs, get cylinder pressures to a certain point and coolant everywhere, let off of it and its fine. Pressure test the cooling system to verify there are no leaks. When hgs leak with hard gaskets it ussually will find a coolant port and push coolant out the cap. The filter can be easily unscrewed for replacement. The coolant bottle cap should be checked to see if it is capable of holding 16 PSI, and it is sealing properly on the coolant bottle. This kit includes all fittings needed for installation. The CNC machined billet 6061 aluminum anodized construction filter boss attaches to a supplied bracket, which mounts to factory holes so no drilling is required.

Over time, these dangerous deposits can even cause damage to your water pump bearings and the small passages inside your EGR cooler and oil cooler. That could be because my Ford cap finally went bad though. It doesn't matter if your 6.0L Ford Powerstroke engine is brand new or has had a long service life, there are contaminants like casting sand leftover from the manufacturing process, metal shavings, rust, and mineral deposits floating in your coolant that can diminish the heat capacity of your truck's cooling system. The Stant cap created a much better seal and I no longer see dried coolant around my cap on the degas bottle.

Prevent this and keep your engine running cool and clean with this filter kit.Īdd years of life to your diesel engine with this Water Coolant Filter Bypass System. These deposits can create blockages which in turn results in increased pressure which can lead to head gasket failure or worse. Now, why would you want to filter your coolant? Good question! Over time, your coolant can become contaminated with castings from the block and numerous other particles that will find nooks and crannies to deposit themselves into, most namely the water jackets of your engine.
