Blowing the filter out with air is a sure way to ruin
an engine. Once the oil is out of the filter it is
like a bug screen rather than a filter. A friend of
mine ruined an engine by using a K&N breather
filter(same media as the intake filters) and not
keeping it oiled, silica passed, got into the oil and
then the main bearings. With 4k on the fresh engine it
needed new main bearings.
