Someone on the MML told me once that (especially after an
engine rebuild where there is more chance of "junk" floating
around in the system) they would take a piece of screen and
slip it over the inlet to the radiator before putting the
upper radiator hose in place. Sounds like the same basic
idea. That's a pretty neat idea though to have a housing
with a replaceable screen; I wish I had thought of it. :-)
