drying hks filters
I cleaned the filters around 3 and a half hours ago, got as much water out of it as i can, and have gone back out periodically to fling more out, but they're still wet on the inside, the apex filter on my t2 didn't take nearly this long, does anyone know any good way to get these things to dry out faster, i was hoping to still wash the car today. Thanks

Just put it on your car, it's ok, few drops of water will not do anything, you won't even notice it at all.
I spray water on my motor all the time, lotsa water.... h20/alc. inj.

You can get the oil from just about any motorcycle shop (since a lot of motorcycles use foam filters). Here's what I used:

It's damn sticky stuff so use some latex gloves to work it into your filters, then reinstall them.
