No one sells them so I superglued it back together & got busy cleaning all the sensors dirty dirty Found my Jeep’s firing order after all these years Clean enough wash rinse repeat Not to be a "Debbie Downer", but by far, the bulk of the dirt/gunk buildup that you found inside the intake is the result of poor filtration. From the tests I ran on a variety of filter types over the years, the OEM paper filter is FAR superior to that chunk of oil-soaked gauze... YMMV... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cool..do I gotta put it together? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WIX filter Part Number: WA9763 I suspect that if you go here https://www.wixfilters.com/Lookup/FilterBySize.aspx?catid=1&styleid=1 and search through the list of filters, you may find something that would work with minor, or no modifications to your current intake tubing... Hope this helps... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kris, I do not have any experience with this newer style filter media, as it was not "on the table" for testing/evaluatrion when I was involved in filtration testing. I will contact some of my friends/former co-workers to see what I can find out about them... May take me a while to find the correct person for that information, as I've been retired 16 years, and both people and materials have been under constant change since then...
