RE: Air filters

Huh?? *No filters on mine.. . . . Didn't know that filters for a mairne perkins existed. . . . never seen a 6-354M with anything but a metal intake cap with metal mesh screen. *Maybe they were installed by the owner as an aftermarket or borrowed from a perkins industrial engine? *I have seen them on forklifts and construction equipment, but not in a marine application.

Like the other writers said, diesels gulp a lot of air, so I would make darn sure they are not restricting the air flow.
