Re: Removing an Air Maze filter
IF you aren't running an air filter, just run your finger inside the air horn & FEEL the GRIT! That CRAP will destroy RINGS/CYLINDERS/PISTONS!!!
Where's your COMMON SENSE?---ALL modern cars run HIGH EFFICIENCY Air Filters. "OLD TIME" designers didn't know any BETTER!
I've even dug through old pan sludge & rubbed GRIT, between my fingers! Why assemble new engines with GREAT Cleanliness & then DESTROY it, with NO AIR FILTER??? Model A engines are NOT OK, without an air FILTER!
Years back, it was COMMON to do re-ring jobs at LOW mileages & trying to cut the BIG ridge on the cylinder walls. Nowadays, I've seen cars with cross hatch marks still showing, at even 180,000 Miles & some some engines up to 250,000 Miles & running FINE!
With modern pleated air filters, I've seen them piled up with crap & "collapsing" with debris, when not changed often enough!
