Oil change, how do you get to the screen with the exhaust in the way?

Hey guys was wondering if you have to remove the header to get the the oil screen or do u use a special tool to get to it?

[el tardo]

the special tool is called labor. you will need to remove the front header pipe to get it out!!

This is done on every oil change? Wow!

Just remove the 2 front header flange nuts and then tip the header down.It's designed to pivot easily.I check my oil screens once a year.Not every oil change.

What and how much do you find in the screen ?????????????

Bugs, little animals, BMWs...


Seriously, metal particles and other debris that managed to find its way into the oil sump. It´s worth cleaning it.

If the motor is broken in & in good shape, the screen will have next to nothing. Aloha Alex

Yep. Hardly anything showed up in my screen last time I cleaned it.
