Re: the air box and stuff

That will work, but the real fix is to install the oil baffle specified in the TSB
for curing the problem.  The part costs about $20, and it's a good opportunity to
put on a new oil pan gasket too.  The baffle simply snaps on after you take the
inferior splash plate off the oil pickup.   Highly 'roccomended.  Note: you DO NOT
have to unbolt the oil pickup to put the baffle on.
