That is wrong as well. Better combustion burns cooler.

Incomplete combustion is what causes issues. Gassers are the easiest example, due to backfire through the intake or after fire through the exhaust.
A properly tuned and adjusted engine will not have EGT issues. Diesel or gasser. IF you modify one thing, you then need to find out what that mod changed down the line as well.

$100,000 marine diesel that guess what? Comes with a K&N filter mated with a Walker Airsep crankcase management system. Filters require at least 25 hours of run time for them to become efficient, they require particulate matter to impregnate the filter to attain efficiency. Cat, Cummins, Detroit(both 2cycle and 4 cycle models), Yanmar, MAN, John Deere etc all come with K&N filter as OEM equipment on both on their marine, industrial, long haul trucks, power generation and any other applications. Just my 2 cents. There is a whole world out there beyond your beloved 617.952 engine. Also, I am resisting making a really sarcastic remark about your "helpful" comments.

Glad to know that my K&N filters won't spread the Avian Flu, Norwalk Virus and a bunch of other bad germs! I'll have the most healthy oil filter made . . . LMAO . . .
Sorry couldn't resist! Last edited by JimF; 02-10-2008 at 04:11 PM. |

Perhaps you could enlighten me with your "internet aquired mechanical expertise" and educate me since I only have 20 years of experience in the field. I am currently rebuilding a Man R-6 that lost the second cylinder due to a failed injector, care to chime on your last major overhaul? I can't wait to forward this email to my boss, you guys are too funny. BTW, I was trained at the marine factory school for 4 weeks in Germany at MTU Fredrichshafen in 2003. I await a list of your professional credentials and accomplishments.

Oiled gauze filters are widely used on marine diesels from 800-2400 HP. Not all of them come stock with oiled gauze filters, however. The new commonrail 1550 MAN's for example do not, and some older MAN's as well did not. You with your experience certainly ought to know this. The marine environment is quite different than what you find on/off road. I don't believe this MTU has an oiled gauze filter. This forum has a polite tone and gentlemen's line. I encourage you to adhere to it. Last edited by MTUpower; 02-12-2008 at 06:36 PM. |

This thread started as a request for information on how to clean a K&N filter and you pipe up with such unsupported words of wisdom like “you might as well not use an air filter at all”. I asked for information from anyone who has seen internal engine damage caused by using K&N filters and you post that flow chart that has been seen here many times. Unless you saw or participated in that test, you can’t hold that out as first hand information. But I believe that chart. I believe that K&N filters don’t filter as well as some others but in all my years as a certified master engine machinist I have never seen or heard of internal engine damage caused by using a K&N filter, even in some of the worst conditions of dust, sand, and dirty city air. I have not seen any increase in fuel economy or power... someone else must have made those claims. This is a great forum here. There are more certified master mechanics here than any other place I know about. Some of us are also certified master engine machinists in both gas and diesel engines. I believe that all the moderators here are certified masters with a great deal of knowledge from their own first hand experience. We also have a large number of members that work in other industries or are retired with experience on their cars and a lot of common sense. Then we have you “posting Queens” that only parrot what they have read somewhere and want the forum members to believe that you are some kind of expert. Wouldn’t you be happier over on BenzWorld with 240Joe? Too many people here that will call your bluff. In a car that doesn’t have a hot wire MAF, the K&N’s seem to be adequate.

I have no idea what the 2005 Dodge Ram P/U with the Hemi uses for a MAF, but I can say my brother owns one and decided to fall for the K&N hype. He religiously maintained that filter, until the truck conked out on a drive to Austin, TX from Dallas.
The plumbing after the filter was full of fine, gritty dust, blocking the MAF sensor. Needless to say, the factory paper setup was re-installed. Personally, if I ran a dirt track modified, stocker, or sprinter, I would use a K&N setup, since it is short lived, and the track is watered down to prevent dust. On daily drivers, I would stick with the factory set up.

Completely unscientific?????? First hand information is the only form accepted by courts and scientific studies because it's based on observed facts, not on hearsay. Does this mean that you believe everything you read?
