Tefba Radiator Filter

Is anyone thinking of getting one of these?

Good idea for engine protection and longevity.
I have one on my 4wd and will probably put one on my 86 when I get it just for some peace of mind. Some of my 4wd mates swear by these (saved their engines).
Ps. no affiliation.

only if you let it get blocked with crud. which is easily avoidable if you check it every service.
and It'd be less of an evil for this to get blocked than your radiator.
