My 52 Crestline has an oil bath air filter. What does the removable filter part look like. I know it should be cleaned in kerosine once in a while. However, I do not have that part in my filter. It may be a cleanable metal mesh?

I have a 53 and the filter part of the oil bath air filter is in the lid. Mine has some coarse fibre in it. I just rinse the lid in some gasoline and let it dry.

The upper filter is not designe to be removable in a stock oil bath air cleaner. The Shop Manual states that it should be checked every 1,000 miles and when the sump is over half full of sediment, drain and clean the reservoir and was the upper filter in kerosene and drain. Then refil the sump to the oil level. I clean my Lincoln's every fall before I put it away for the winter. Tom

I also have a 52 flathead. The oil bath filter, being so old and filled with stuff, I thought was too far gone. I Made a mold of the top cap and made one of fiberglass. While still in the mold I filled the bottom flat and drilled the center hole, then painted it the standard black. I used rubber heater hose to fill the bottom circle. I bought a NAPA Gold 2444 paper filter and it fits perfectly. The complete assembly looks original, (though probably would not pass judging). Replacement is easy. Performance unchanged.
