The instructions on the SU carbs air filters on my 58 TR3 say, "Clean with Petrol every 5000 miles and re-oil the gauze." Instead of cleaning the filters, I have installed new ones (starting fresh with a relatively newly purchased car). My question is this: Do I need to put some engine oil on the gauze of the air filters, and if so how best to do it and how much? Or does it make any difference. The old filters were a little dirty and bone dry.
The new filters came with new bolts, but not lock washers (there were lock washers on the old filters). So, I used the old lock washers. Also, of course, I installed new gaskets.
