A couple of people on the list have mentioned that they have
the 14" Mr. Gasket Daytona chrome air cleaners, and they're
happy with them.
I'd like to get one and put a 3" K&N element in there. I downloaded
Mr. Gasket's Daytona series catalog, but there are several 14" chrome air
cleaners in there.
Does anyone have a part number, or will any of 'em work?
Also, I was reading about something called "blow-back"? (Not
sure if that's the right name). But basically, it means
that oil from the crankcase comes up through your valve covers,
through the (PVC?) tube, and into your air cleaner. The stock
airbox has this tube going through the filter, but I take it the
Daytona just has a fitting on the bottom somewhere, making the
opening inside the filter? That would let oil go straght into
the TBI... Is this actually a problem?
If so:
Does the tube *have* to go to the air cleaner? Couldn't
it just be tied to something in the engine and left loose? Or,
I've heard of people installing a T in the line from the valve
cover to the air cleaner, with a tube coming off the T. Hopefully,
most of the oil would go out the bottom of the T instead of into
the air cleaner. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks very much in advance!
