Do you have engine oil in your Harley air filter?\xa0 Is it a problem or is it normal?\xa0 In this episode, I am joined by Lurch and Oscar.\xa0 Harley-Davidson vents engine pressure through banjo bolts that hold the air intake on.\xa0 There are tubes on the end of the banjo bolts.\xa0 The tubes are directed into the intake/filter area.\xa0 When pressure builds up and oil passes through the bolts/tubes it dumps into the filter and/or is sucked into the engine through the intake.\xa0 If an excess of oil builds up in your Harley air filter it can leak out and get all over your bike.\xa0\xa0

We discuss how oil ends up in your Harley air filter.\xa0 The three of us share our opinions and have some fun along the way.\xa0 We break down the issue of oil blowback; what it is and what causes it.\xa0 We also discuss stock air intakes and aftermarket intakes.\xa0 Some of the aftermarket intakes already have external breather bolts and catch cans.\xa0 Some have external breather bolts, but route tubes back into the intake.\xa0 The stock air intakes have internal breather bolts with tubes that vent into the filter/intake.\xa0\xa0
