[Tigers] Air cleaner

Thanks Denis,


I will have to look into that one. Getting enough air into our V8's is
definitely a challenge, what with the area of filter element seemingly a choke
point.

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?

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.
