i always thought the K&N cleaning kit off ebay or from an autoshop was pretty cheap considering the number of uses you get out of it? |

while you are cleaning the filter have a close look for dust/dirt upstream from the filter i think K&N filters let fine dust past the filter. |

i think K&N filters let fine dust past the filter. Not if you use the K&N grease and let it dry properly. |

YEP! Peanut HP gain with a snazzy filter is worth shit if your engine only lasts 2 weeks |

Does your vehicle live and breath in hardcore dust nearly everyday like shep's does? Try driving yours up to the cape or something if you want a real filter test. Some of the dust is so fine that even the well sealed paper filters in airboxes with snorkles are letting a slight amount of dust through. I believe it would be a different story if you took the princess up there and had some shep time

Get a proper K&N Cleaning and Oil kit. Alot of motobike shops sell them or try Repco. Used to be about $25 and you get half a dozen cleans out of it. If you clean it with degreaser and dont re-oil then it wont work. the oil is what catches the dust

I have run K&N for as long as I remember, swear by them, never had an engine failure, and I thrash the shit out of my toys, cruelly. Its for this reason I get the best I can for them, K&N, redline oil, Mobile 1 engine oil, change every 5000k. Used to live in Katherine, driven all around oz a few times. Never driven a car to the cape but, damit, one day. |
