Air filter cover plate; air filter distorting ? Why?
I've had two air filters distort. The air filter medium is bent out of shape. The air filter cover plate that should hold the air filter in place cracked where the leading edge on the outboard side is bent up to screw in place to the baffling. I don't have my plans with me, as I am away from home for the next 3 months. Anyone know the part number for the air filter hold down cover plate? IO390 engine, standard Vans finishing kit baffling. Anyone else having a problem with their air filter getting distorted? Any suggestions about what to do? Thanks, JDW

Backfire most likely, as Chris mentioned.

Many of these filters could be sourced locally; check local automotive supply stores.

I have also seen it happen on shutdown if mixture control is not correctly adjusted to be not quite lean enough to do a full shut down.

My -7 blew out a filter and it looked just like that ... after a backfire from too much priming.
