Had a couple of questions that I wanted to ask you guys..
I have an oiled filter setup in my 93 4.0, and I was curious what the thoughts on filter wraps? Like does it reduce the flow the open filter creates (i like to think of them as high flow/less restrictive filters, since we know they aren't real cold air filters) , and if not would running just a cleaned and dried oiled filter (without oil) with a wrap be reasonable? I know without the oil it can let a lot through, but what about with a wrap?
Also, I've been having an issue with rough starts, like takes a little to fire up, then I'll get some serious clicking, or ticking. Not like the constant lifter tick, or a pre detonation ping, but a straight " click click click click" for a minute then it goes away. And if I stop it and start it, it doesn't do it anymore.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
