With the k&n it appears that I'd have to cut a hole in the chick lid. I'd like to put a scoop on it but if I can avoid it, I will. I just want a place for all the chicks to sprawl out all over the Crusader man. Lol

Go with a K&N. Flows awesome and USCG approved for use in a closed engine compartment as a spark arrestor. My K&N is three inches tall, but I want to find one that's 2 1/2 so I can run a 1" spacer under the carb shown in the pic. As it is there it would hit my hood.
Thought i had what you needed-but the spacer  i have is 2"

I changed the oil today, ran a Wix oil filter in place of the Motorcraft FL-1A that was on there. Also put six quarts of SAE 50 VR-1 oil in it too.

Talking about oil.... Here's a good read that effects us all that don't have roller cams.

Grap man, I just put Valvoline VR-1 in my motor.


Quoted from the article from Blaze:


Case in point, Valvoline Racing oil VR1, had 1300 parts per million of ZDDP in January of 2008 and the last I heard it was down to 900 parts per million just a few weeks ago. Be aware that most racing oils are designed for short term use before being changed out and may lose the additive package before the next oil change in your boat.

Hey Cliff, you can borrow mine if you want to try it out and see it a K&N will work.

Dude, I tried the K & N you let me borrow and NO way will it fit. Lol. Yours measures from top to bottom 4 inches whereas the current spark arrestor I have measures 2 1/2 inches top to bottom.

Thanks though.

Guess it's time to invest in an electric oil change pump.

Here's the pump I was telling you about yesterday

Nice! at 1/2 GPM pumprate, I would have had my engine emptied of oil in less than 3 minutes versus the 1 hour I was hand pumping that sucker!

If you can find the 120volt pump, buy it over the 12 volt pump. Dale has a cool one, it hooks to an air compressor air hose and works fast!
