First off... you really should try to make your point a little more clear. I hate to sound like an ass but that's just about the worst grammar I've ever tried to read. Fortunately I'm still able to make some sense of it.

You should get a motorsaver filter. Most people love them and they offer a 60* bend elbow that is somewhat extended to help clear your spur gear.

quaart, I'm going to warn you in public since you don't respond to normal infractions.
You've already been given 2 suspensions, and you continue to post useless spam.
Last chance. One more and you're history. Get it? Got it? Good.

point the air filter sideways and not forward. or turn the air filter where it won't touch the spur gear
 
had the same issue

I had issues with my revo doing the very same thing after a perfectly executed and timed inverted landing. fortunately, nothing was bent but engine mount had shifted dramaticly. I'd be willing to bet you spur pinion alignment is less than centered as well at this point. Loosen your base mounts and slide the engine back a little to realign to your spur, then adjust for proper mesh. Unles you bent things up, this should give you back respectable intake clearance....which isn't much to start with.

Rolex, please don't take this the wrong way, I'm very much in favor of keeping threads on point. However, your avatar, combined with the elfish voice my imagination puts to your appropriately stern final warning created a combination that nearly put me in tears from laughing.:hehe:
