Ed,
Sounds like a rational plan. So, how do
you go about “inspecting” your evaporator cores for blockage?

I agree, trying to fix the
problem that isn't there can be frustrating in the extreme. In
Perry's case, I certainly understand the use of the "Radiator
Stop-Leak" if you are out and need to get home as an "emergency"
measure, but on the other hand I don't think a screen would necessarily have
made any difference in his case. Once you put something like that in your
system then you have compromised it to a degree.
But, then that is what this is all
about - some perceive risks where others do not and hence take a step to
alleviate said risk. However, I can see some folks using a screen and
never having a problem (just like some of us flying have not (at least thus
far) had a problem with gunk in the coolant system) and others using a screen
and perhaps getting flow restriction or stoppage and others (who inspect
regularly) showing where a screen has perhaps stopped gunk from flowing into
the radiator..
My personal viewpoint is to minimize
the number of components, but will readily admit to have screens and filters in
my fuel line - so perhaps the having same in the coolant lines is no different
(at least in concept). {:>)
