Yep. If you know someone that does aluminum welding they could fabricate a piece to mount the maf sensor on.

Been to the bamboo. Dem fellas bullsheitin around. Fella at bicks say dem get cuss fuh sellin one off ah engine recently. ghostbusters, dais you ent Very Happy

will check bak again. didnt really have too much $$ on me anyway.

As for the oil filter.... the Purolator sold locally is L14459 which has a pressure relief (bypass valve) of 12-15 PSI
The oversize filter is the L20073. It has the same PSI relief, threading and gasket diameter.

The filter listed for the BJ on the Purolator website is the L14612 which has a slightly higher PSI relief of 14-18 PSI.
The oversize filter with this equivalent bypass etc is L14610

Moving on to the K&N website, the filter listed for the BJ is the HP-1008 which has the higher PSI bypass and is the equivalent replacement for the L14612 (BJ filter on Purolator site) The oversize is HP-1010

Now if two big names like this list a specific filter then i am inclined to believe we get the wrong filter in T&T.

When asked, the parts places said they never get the Purolator # i asked for.

Not too sure how much of a difference it will make in the long run but i will buy the CORRECT PSI oversize filter from Amazon at next oil change.

Maybe i'm just wierd but i HATE to knowingly buy the wrong thing when i know the correct one is available.

well before i had used the royal purple in d 3, i had used mobil 1, i really never fealt any difference in performance with the mobil 1, i do however feel like the car is revving more freely with the royal purple, plus i used the k&noil filter, do not use fram filters, in many cases, the filter element in the fram filter does come loose and result in zero filtration,,,stay away from fram, highly recommend royal purple, i paid 62 a quart at sheriffs

I know that fram is sheit from long time so no worries there. I 'll give the royal purple a try.

If you goin k&n oil filter use the hp-1010. Same price and is oversized meaning more filter media which in turn gives better filtration and flow.

one down side to the royal purple is that my valvetrain makin a bit more noise on startup.

TurboDrive · Posted: Fri Feb 29, 2008 6:21 am Post subject:

Right now my engine has amsoil in it. I havent changed the oil since I bought it. I was waiting for some more feedback from you guys. Now that you mentioned valvetrain noise with the royal purple I also experience the same noise with the amsoil. Is there any oil that would eliminate the noise?

mobil 1 10w-30 i runnin an does only get occasional noise
