The oil bath holds 3 pints of engine oil. The filter element can be washed in kerosene if extremely fouled and allowed to air dry. The mesh should pick up oil as the filter works, but I'd give it a good oil soak (and drain) before re-installing.
the Gasket is coiuc 100458, and described as a "gasket - oil bath air cleaner". It would keep water out in the rain or a severe wading situation. It doesn't have to be air or water tight for any use we are likely to see - I'd consider replacing it with a strip(s) of compress-able plastic mesh , like a soap-free kitchen pad, cut about 1/2 inch wide. f

I sandblasted my filter with no problems. Took it all apart and soaked it in parts cleaner to degrease it. Gave it a good blasting then cleaned it all. Then painted it gloss black inside and out. Everything worked fine with it.

I'd sandblast it if i could get it apart! I guess you drilled out the previously mentioned spot welds?
Ron, mines in a bit worse state than yours, but should clean up well. I might give the molasses a go, if thats not successfull i'll have to drill the spot welds out. Thanks for all your help |

My mistake. Yes 3 pints of oil. Should have read the manual rather than rely on memory. Ron

No I didn't have to drill and spot welds. The bowl simply pulled off after undoing the wing nuts. Inside there is a baffle holding all the filter elements/screens in place. It was held in by 4 little machine screws with square nuts. Took them out and removed the baffle. Then I pulled out the elements/filters. I just sandblasted the body as is. I found I could easily get the grit to go down the sides of the inner and outter body without problems. It's been on my carrier for almost ten years now without any issues.
