VFR video I made, I thought you guys might like it!

There are a LOT more failures at the O ring than the nut. I posted the photos one of the other members took with calipers on an oem filter and the K&N. They are making the housing the wrong size and the O ring gets a pinch in it and leaks. This is with hand tightening not over tightening. I have had them fail on the VFR and my CBR 1000 and seen many failures. My 3-4 emails with them did no good other than they did send me a new filter that got shit canned right away.

 

Orings can be fragile especially if not lubed. Dry they can stretch and tear. If ya wanna see a shitload of Orings go to the National O Ring site" or for a really big one the 40 footer on the Chamber A door SESL NASA MSC.

torqueing down on a dry Oring especially one of unknown origin can cause all sorts of problems.

Used OEMs on the VFR until switching to the Scotts. Never a problem with either.

Maybe the dynamic duo will grace us with the wwww&H of who installed the leaky one instead of moralizing and relying on Psych 101 that sometimes works on the less informed.

OMG I just had a thought!! Can we blame it on the oil?

 

To the op, Get the Oem Honda filter - it works fine & then you just have to worry about what brand oil you have - lol

 

In a recent study, it was found that OEM filters are made in North Korea and that oil is made from all manner of dead things.

 

Can this be applied to foreplay with women?
