Melted air filter gasket - POS
Last year a put in a new air filter from DAP.
It was about the time Advance AP was buying them out.
I was pulling the air box Saturday, and I get this black goo on my hands - WTF?
The air filter gasket had melted into a viscous tar.
Here you can see how it puddled in the outlet.
It took me almost 2 hours to clean the inside of the AFM.
The air box & TID wasn't worth cleaning, so I cobbed together a Home Depot TID.
Like Mom used to say: "When you get lemons - make lemonaid!
