48 Chrysler air cleaner holes


R Walling

Recommended Posts

I am about to instal the air cleaner on my new ride and I noticed that the oil bath air cleaner has many small holes in the bottom of it.

 The bottom pan where the oil is placed was copper plated  and started to rust from the outside.

 

 I was thinking of applying an epoxy adhesive for steel to the inside (after sandblasting) forming an even coating and then brush another coating on the outside bottom.

 

 I have placed a SS heat shield over the exhaust manifold that is directly under it.

 I thought of soldering it but there are too many holes.

 

 Has any one addressed this problem and has advice for me?

 

 Thank you, Roger.

 I sand blasted the air cleaner oil pan and used a 3M product #08274 which is an epoxy adhesive for steel to steel.

 Not pretty but my aim was to put a fairly thick layer on the inside and outside.

 I will next paint it inside and out with primmer and industrial Imron urethane. 

 Thanks for all the suggestions.
