Exhaust breather filters

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.

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.
