ArdWrknTrk Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Painted my air cleaner housing yesterday and bolted the snorkel to the housing today. Still waiting on my air cleaner decal and filter element to show up and I'll put it on the truck. I think it turned out pretty good. That looks sharp! My 460 came the other way around, with a silver can and black lid. What sticker did you get? I'm wearing the 460+4V Regular Fuel (PI) decal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wearing the 460+4V Regular Fuel (PI) decal I ordered this one. My truck did not have an air cleaner housing at all when I bought it, so I don't know for sure what it came with factory but all the 5.8 4V HO air cleaners I have seen online have this one, so I ordered it.

That will look nice. 👍 I remember trying to find that typeface when Gary was looking to put a dual snorkel air cleaner on his Dad's Truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any sort of rubber sealing washer under the wingnut? my air cleaner housing came with a steel backed rubber washer for the wingnut, but it's pretty smashed out and am looking for a replacement. If it keeps my engine from filling up with 5 gallons of rainwater overnight like that time, I redid the cowl seam sealer and had the tarp wind up acting as a funnel right to the air cleaner lid I'll buy one. I'll never make that mistake again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're trying to do the right thing and it ends up causing problems.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not look at the page at Documentation/Underhood/Cowl Seal. Yeah, cowl seal is good. Years ago, when I did the cowl seam sealer, I covered the cab of the truck with a tarp and ran it under the hood and closed the hood for the night. About an hour later we had the rainstorm of the century and the next morning when I went to drive the truck, I took the tarp off and went to start it to find out it didn't turn over. All 8 cylinders were totally full of water and I drained about 2 gallons of water out of the crankcase before I even saw any oil. Whoops. I'm lucky I didn't bend a connecting rod as it cranked over a tad then stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordFETruck Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 im curious what cowl seal you installed I used the Lowes garage door seal. Works fine when there isn't a tarp between the hood and the seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
