After the gause has dried,you have to oil it with the K&N> spray that come in the kit which makes thefilter red again.-- Cheers,Carl> Prochilo1992 Ultra Red CrimsonMichael said:> I suppose I can only speak> for my own ProFlow 77mm MAF, which only needs> to be washed in soap> water, according to the instructions from Best> Products that came with> the meter.94MTX,green,BOS+--- On Thu 01/08, Carl> Prochilo <> gr8sho@prochilo.myserver.org > wrote:> From: Carl Prochilo !> [mailto: gr8sho@prochilo.myserver.org]To:> molsen@excite.comCc:> shotimes@autox.team.netDate: Thu, 8 Jan 2004 15:36:24> -0500 (Eastern> Standard Time)Subject: Re: [Shotimes] 80mm MAF failure,> CLEANING> procedure and Materials?Says who?
