[TR] TR air cleaners?

[spook01@comcast.net]

All I can say is that if you want clean air you have a couple of choices: you can use an oiled batting filter like the k/n or a large oil bath filter. 
Paper filters allow particles to penetrate in greater quantity than k/n. Real studies bear this out. On the other hand, we have subjective opinions.  
I encourage everyone to check out the various studies and make up your mind based on impartial facts.

I don't wish to rebuild my engine as often as those fellows do...

I don't know exactly what the truth is re K&N filters, but I do know that given the same filter area, a filter that screens out smaller particles will be more resistant to airflow.  So it makes perfect sense for someone who isn't too concerned about driving more than a couple thousand miles to be more tolerant of particles entering the engine, if their goal is to move air through as quickly as possible.
