Currently have a factory 914-6 air cleaner on the 3.0 in my 74 conversion. Question for the group is which system breathes better, the factory system or the K&N filters? I like the look of the two filters with the watershields but if the factoy system is better performance wise I guess I should stick with it? Please advise.

On my type one 2007cc Gene Berg engine that I built from a full kit in 1991 I saw no notable wear on the top end at it's 60k mile head check several years ago.
K&N on DCNF 42 webers. This winter I'm going to do a major overhaul on it because it's past time for it, so I'll be checking everything. All the engines I've built and few I've checked running K&N's I have never seen any unusual top end wear. Unless you count DAPO's that have dropped nuts and washers down their carbs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I wouldn't and never have run K&N's on stock engines, just wasn't worth it. |
