Screamin' Eagle® Air Cleaner Upgrade Kit
Part # 117-298
List of Materials
(1) Air Filter Element # 172-130
(3) Air Filter Mounting Stanchions w/studs
(1) Air Cleaner Cover Washer
This kit is designed to be used on Twin Cam® engines equipped with HD #
29260-08 Screamin' Eagle® air cleaner and the standard Twin Cam® “football”
cover, which makes 360º contact between the cover back and the rubber gasket
on the filter. Do not install decorative inserts (due to increased weight) or CVO
covers that do not make 360º contact between the cover back and the rubber
gasket.
1.
Remove existing air cleaner cover and element (retain the 3 element mounting screws).
2.
Remove the (3) Screamin' Eagle® element studs from the backplate.
3.
Locate the (3) support stanchion studs included with this kit. Apply thread locking agent
such as blue Loctite® onto (3) stanchion studs. Install (3) stanchions through backplate into
carb or throttle body and tighten to 85-90 inch pounds in a sequence. Due to the thickness of
the backplate gasket, perform several rounds of the tightening as the gasket will crush
and relax the torque on the stanchions. 3-4 tightening rounds
should be performed to ensure proper torque.
4.
Install air filter onto backplate, line up holes to stanchions.
Apply locking agent such as blue Loctite® to (3) filter 1/4-20
buttonhead screws and tighten.
5.
Re-install the air cleaner cover bolt through the cover. Dab a
small amount of silicone seal to one side of the supplied thick
washer. From inside the cover, place the supplied washer over the
bolt, with the silicone facing the air cleaner element (important!). Apply Loctite® on the
threads of the bolt and install the cover assembly onto the air filter element.
This product is legal in California only for racing vehicles which may never be used upon a highway.
