breaks, or are stretched out of shape. Usually, gaskets are
located in the outer cover, inner cover, filter retention washer,
filter body, dust bowl or bolts. The most frequent cause of air
filter failure is in the gaskets.

7. Reassemble, using a new or cleaned filter, in reverse order. Do not

uniformly tightened. Make sure the dust bowl or cup fits air tight.

generally means an air leak.
