[Shotimes] 80mm MAF failure, CLEANING procedure and Materials?

[James White]

The oiled cone filter that came with the SHOshop 80mm MAF, can and snorkel
kit seemed to be big enough, but it only lasted 3 washings.  I washed with
the K&N cleaning kit, but after the third time, it developed holes.  I
sealed these with silicone.

When nobody on this or the tech list could come up with a good number for a
K&N, so I could buy it from Mallinson, I went to AutoZone.  Got one that was
close.  The large end is about 1" all around smaller than the SHOshop can
opening.

The K&N appears to be a little higher quality.  But I would like to have a
slightly bigger one. The K&N listings were a little hard to coach the AZ guy
through...
