Question Somebody SHOOT me!!!!

I've posted here before about my carter problem and after various preping methods, it came down to oil or water or dirt in the air lines. So I recently purchased a La-Man extractor/dryer that will remove down to 5 microns. Just tried 2 PC tests and both still have carters.

Is the 5 microns too big and should I have gone to a .01 micron filter??

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Ben

You need to be using a coalesing filter in conjunction with that dryer. Ideally, you want it filtered down to .01 microns.
