Air Intake: The quantity and quality of the air being mixed with fuel is of vital importance. It helps determine the longevity of an engine, as well as an engine's power and smoothness when running.
The air cleaner helps separate dust and particles from the air that would otherwise end up in the engine. Since thousands of cubic feet of air pass through an engine, it is important to keep this air as clean as possible in order to prevent build-ups and deposits of foreign particles on delicate engine components, and to maximize the engine's performance. Deposits can, for instance, build up around a Sparkplug and prevent it from firing, block an intake manifold airway, or prevent a cylinder valve from opening or shutting.
