[Tigers] Air cleaner

[denis mercier]

Hi Gene.
I used WIX 42079 and to be easier to give oval shape i removed the outer metal
screen. To remove metal screen i used table buffer to remove rubber over
screen.
Thanks !
Denis.

  Hi Denis,


  Probably if you have any measurable clearance at the hold-down nut and stud
you will be okay.


  But in my experience there is another more critical clearance point with the
stock cleaner.  The motor will rock at least a little bit in its motor mounts
under hard acceleration, causing the drivers side (LHD) to rotate up and
potentially hit the hood.  I had contact marks on the air clearner lid and
hood from that happening.   It was on the outer edge of the cleaner about half
way around the curve at the front  This was with a LAT hood that has a bit
more clearance than the stock hood.  Anyway, I recommend checking the
clearance in that area as well.  I do not have a recommendation on how much
clearance is enough.


  BTW, what 1.75 inch element are you using?


  Gene

  Hi Guys !
  I just install a new air filter 1.75 thick on my Tiger air cleaner. The
  previous air filter was 1.5 thick. With the new filter the distance between
  the nut that hold the
  air cleaner and the hood is =( inch. Is that space is ok ? I don't want the
  air cleaner hit the hood !
  Thanks !
  Denis.
