I am looking for filters for my 285hp CJs case vents. Or should they be left open? Thanks Kelley

 Up there in the Land 'o Lakes where the Mosquito is the State Bird, I'd prefer to keep those vents covered. Fine Scotch pad will work with tie wraps, keeps the critters and dirt out and *some* of the oil in, especially when inverted. If you plumb the oil tank vent to the "Y" crankcase vent, only the gearbox vent needs covering. However, don't fly into icing as the vent filter freezes over, pressurizing the crankcase and blowing all the oil out somewhere.

Hi Kelley,

This is what I use on my nose case breather vent on my 285HP Housai.

It's a K&N filter,  I change it out every annual. $17.99

Keeps the engine and fuselage cleaner, especially If you do any  

inverted stuff.
