Many engine failures can be attributed to improper air cleaner servicing. Ingested dust and dirt will cause cylinder, piston and bearing damage in a few hours. Dusted engines will result from:

1.Over servicing the air filter element.

2.Improper installation of an air filter element.

3.Damaged filter, seals or canister.

4.Incorrect air filter element size and/or use of poorly designed aftermarket air filter elements.

Air cleaner servicing is an inexpensive maintenance check that can prevent costly non-warrantable premature engine damage.

Over Servicing

Over servicing occurs when an air filter element is removed for cleaning or replacement before it is necessary. Each time the filter is removed a small amount of dirt and dust could fall in the intake system. This accumulated dirt can cause a dusted engine. It only takes a few grams of ingested dirt over the normal service life of an engine to cause a dusted engine.

Do not clean element, replace with a new element only. Cleaning used air filter elements, through improper cleaning procedures, can get dust on the inside of the filter causing dirt ingestion and engine failure.
