joshluvsla August 25th, 2005, 12:29 AM hey everyone... well when i bought my kkm intake and installed it i noticed that their was still a little bit of space between the actual metal bracket that came with the intake filter and the intake pipe... this concern of my was raised as i was looking at a similar item on ebay but that one had a type of gasket in the middle? does anyone know anything on this matter,,, thanks... :L
EBAY LISTING OF THE FILTER WITH GASKET (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lincoln-LS-2000-2002-V8-air-intake-K-N-filter-00-02_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ38634QQitemZ79954801 06QQrdZ1)
Dead President August 25th, 2005, 12:59 AM I've never seen that kit before, but you're saying the engine is drawing in unfiltered air? Did you buy the kit used? Either way, I'd contact KKM right away.
GrayGhost1 August 25th, 2005, 05:56 AM There should have been a gasket between the MAF and original air box that you re-use for this. Did you notice it still on the air box?

Does this filter not fit with the bottom of the airbox installed?

Its a cone filter that just over 6 inchs at its widest point which doesn't fit in the airbox bottom.

lexdiamondz10304 August 25th, 2005, 04:22 PM Yep same problem here when I bought the kkm intake. I noticed about 2 mills of space in between.
chr0me August 26th, 2005, 10:17 AM so the fix would be reusing the original gasket
Kustomz August 26th, 2005, 12:32 PM When there are two flat surfaces, no gasket is required. If you are having issues with a gap, make sure that the bolts are tightened evenly, gradually tightening each bolt instead of tightening down one corner then moving to the next. If after this check you still have a gap, place the plastic MAF body on a sheet of sand paper layed on a flat surface and check for trueness.

The stock unit has an o-ring. Do you need to reuse that or just put the 2 flat pieces together?
