lwrdr2121 Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 So I just swapped motors in a 83 Sentra with an E16 engine. The exhaust breather filters are oil soaked bad. Any idea where I can track these down at? 20 years ago was able to get for an old 210 but not anymore. They bolt to the side of the air cleaner. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 There is a small filter for the valve cover breather hose where it enters the air filter housing. I can see that being oil soaked from blow-by. The other filters are slightly larger and on the air injection system for the exhaust. Reed valves only allow air to enter the pipe to the exhaust manifold. If these are oil covered that engine is in trouble. Take them out and rinse with spray carb cleaner. To keep them clean pull that breather hose from the valve cover off and run a longer hose down beside the engine by the oil pan. 1 Quote Link to comment
lwrdr2121 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thanks. Ill try that. I used the original air cleaner assembly that was on my car. I had to put in another engine since the original started knocking. Quote Link to comment
