OK, many thanks- Need to get this done, as the filter seems to be pretty restricted due to oil in it. I found the recommendations for cleaning the screen under the cam cover to stop the oil flow problem and intermittent heavy smoking due to that but apparently the air filter is just a pain and that's that. Way cool car though, I like this beast a lot.
