Was easier to take the oil filter off and remove the entire air box assy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I needed to pull airbox/oil filter out to get to it from the top and bottom. I put the car up on car stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then put it in the ultrasonic cleaner, tried a few more chemicals then had another look under the scope and there were still metal fragments in there. I think its either remove or replace. Dont clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My oil pressure sender for my Autometer gauge is T'd into where the stock one is. Its quite a large round sender which is right next to where the filter assy is. So space is fairly limited. I use a deep socket to undo it and a spanner to hold it all, but I need to cut the spanner down, its way to long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
