First Look Inside Throttle Body

The easiest way to keep the oil out of the throttle body is to run a oiled gauze filter. This is my 97 after the owner ran a K&N for a bit, the layer of dirt absorbs all the oil from the blowby, right? Right?

That right there is why I hate K&N filters. I wouldn't run one on a bet.
Was it a stock replacement or one of those oh-so-useful cold air setups?

Wow, that’s no joke.

Yes, I ran a K&N for a few years. 😖 Removing it was one of the first lessons I learned on this forum. Fortunately I haven’t found any dirt in mine, just that bit of oil in my original picture.

Classic picture. Send it to the Kocksuckers and see what excuse they give you for all the dirt.

What will that change? I will either get that it needs a prefilter sock or I didn't maintain the element correctly with their special oil. They will never admit that their filter doesn't.

Of course not, then they'ed be outta business. How to fix it? You already added that to your post ;) Ah, but at least they are kinda truthful in claiming the dirtier it gets the better it works. A handful of mud would be the best thing for one.
