Anyone looked at a Toyota LC (100) OEM Air Filter closely?
Specifically, the gasket & gasket frame.
Disturbed by the K&N filter thread, I bought a Toyota air filter today.
The plastic frame that holds the gasket which seals the filter to airbox joint, is warped. Significantly. There is no way this thing will seal properly when assembled into the airbox, because it is a very rigid frame, and the seal lip is too small to compensate for the warped frame. It's gonna leak like crazy at the seal, allowing ambient air to get sucked in bypassing the filter.
Anyone else seen this? (Take a look...?)
