So we have been thinking, why stack to gaskets that have o-rings stacked on top of o-rings? That can only leed to something bad (2 o-rings never seal correctly and slip on each other).
I take the time to think about this big filter kit and come up with this...
PTP's big filter kit, what you get with our kit:
3 Studs and washered nuts for the install (not bolts)
Great K&N filter
2 stock gaskets (typical with the other kits)
plug to block the coolant lines
PTP's spacer plate
Why the spacer for the install kit? Because stacking 2 gaskets on top of each other never sat well with me. They leak (ask around you will see that others have complained about this) at the mating point of the two gaskets. I mean would you stack two head gaskets on top of each other? Didn't think so.
Why studs and not bolts? This is a no-brainer, duh studs will hold better and retain the tension over a longer time. The bolts do not get enough clamping force to crush both the gaskets down with out stripping the aluminum pan that they thread into. Studs are a much better option for this upgrade then bolts.
So with all this said how much is this going to run you? $49.99 shipped on the GB we are now having. Send PP to
