A filter assembly for a motor-vehicle air cleaner may include a main filter, an auxiliary filter set apart from the main filter, and a filter mount fixed to and supporting the main filter and the auxiliary filter. In an example embodiment, the filter mount is fittable in and removable from a housing of the air cleaner, and includes a sealing element passing between the main filter and the auxiliary filter.

Air cleaner filter assembly for motor vehicles operating in extreme weather conditions

An inlet duct, an induction system, and a system are disclosed for directing an inlet flow into an inlet compressor for use in an internal combustion engine. An example inlet duct may include one or more relief features disposed on an inner surface of the inlet duct. The one or more relief features may be made integral with the inlet duct. The one or more relief features may be disposed to protrude into the inlet flow to cause the inlet flow to swirl before reaching the inlet compressor.

A filter assembly for a motor-vehicle air cleaner comprises a main filter, an auxiliary filter set apart from the main filter, and a filter mount fixed to and configured to support the main filter and the auxiliary filter. In this embodiment, the filter mount is fittable in and removable from a housing of the air cleaner, and includes a sealing element passing between the main filter and the auxiliary filter.

A motor-vehicle air cleaner comprises the filter assembly, an air-cleaner housing configured to fittably and removably accommodate the filter assembly and to enclose the main filter and the auxiliary filter separately when the filter assembly is accommodated in the air-cleaner housing. The motor-vehicle air cleaner further comprises a flow restrictor configured to restrict air flow to the auxiliary filter.

A camshaft lash adjustment process for an internal combustion engine includes the steps of substituting a tiltable camshaft retainer for a camshaft bearing cap which is proximate a driven end of the camshaft, followed by removal of all remaining camshaft bearing caps and the substitution of a camshaft tilt limiter for one of the camshaft bearing caps so as to allow rotation of the camshaft to a tilted position. This permits adjustment of valve tappets driven by the camshaft.
