Oil Bath vs. K & N Filter

(1/2) > >>

Spyderman:
I have a 1981 Series III Diesel. What are the pros & cons of replacing the oil bath air filter with a K 7 N. I have been told elsewhere that the engine will be smokier with the K & N. The engine smokes like a train already, don't want to make it worse as MOT coming up. What do you think?[/b]

hobbit:
Try running with the oil bath out and see how much less smokey it will be one day, that'll give you some idea

Spyderman:
Won't that risk sucking dirt into the engine?

hobbit:
Only briefly on a tarmac road, long term it would, you could warm her up, then take the pipe off the intake, and see how it looks in the tail pipe when running down the road

Spyderman:
Ok, will try that thanks, Have you used a K&N filter?
