Champ PH2835XL sloppy glue application follow-up

[mccandish]

Original post here.

In a nutshell, there was just too much potting material on the endcaps and some of it dripped down and formed a blob inside the center tube. Once it was cut open, I gave the blob some heavy poking and prodding, but it didn't budge. The last picture shows the side directly behind the blob on the center tube. I measured the area of filtration material at 73.5 in² with 60 pleats.

Did a drunken hobo fit that together on a Saturday morning at 242am over a holiday weekend?

Glad you chopped and didn't run it. It looks like that blob comes out the center tube about halfway up. wow

Excuse me. Drunken hobos have more class than that..

I couldn’t get a great shot inside the tube but I do not see any excess glue on this one. There is probably some on the pleats but I am going to run it. I just got this in for my lawn mower.

My apologizes to the drunken hobo community. I was not thinking of their feelings.

I don't think @walterjay
was offended.

That's better than the excess glue that comes off really easily on Motorcrafts. If that one you cut open didn't have the big glue goobers coming out the louvers, it would have been within reason to run. But any crazy excess glue on the clean side is a risk to run.
