Replacement Steel Breather Basket Mesh — Rear Ford Intake Manifold — Corrosion-Resistant Plated — Service Insert

This listing is for a replacement steel breather basket mesh insert used in the rear breather basket location of Ford intake manifolds. This is the internal mesh element only — intended to replace the old, oil-saturated, worn, or contaminated mesh inside your existing breather basket assembly.

Instead of replacing the entire breather basket unit, the customer can remove the original used mesh and install this new plated steel mesh insert, restoring proper vapor separation and airflow while saving significant cost.

This mesh is manufactured from steel and plated for corrosion resistance, making it suitable for long-term exposure to crankcase vapor and oil mist environments.

Typical service condition of original mesh:

• Oil saturated

• Sludge contaminated

• Collapsed or degraded structure

• Reduced vapor separation efficiency

• Restricted crankcase ventilation flow

Replacing only the mesh restores function without replacing the full assembly.

Material and quality note:

This is purpose-built breather mesh. There are vendors who have experimented with inexpensive over-the-counter mesh products intended for general cleaning use. Some of those materials are designed for abrasive cleaning applications and may contain embedded abrasive particles. Products used outside their intended purpose can introduce contamination risk in an engine environment.

For that reason, customers should verify the source and intended application of any breather mesh material installed in an intake ventilation system.

Product details:

• Application: Rear intake manifold breather basket service insert

• Function: Oil vapor separation media

• Material: steel

• Finish: corrosion-resistant plated coating

• Use: replaces original internal mesh only

• Assembly: install into customer’s existing breather basket housing

• Intended environment: crankcase vapor and oil mist exposure

This listing is for the mesh insert only, not the breather basket housing.

Installation should be performed by someone familiar with intake manifold breather basket assemblies and proper PCV/breather system service.
