Crank Scrapers

NABR? who reads that? I didn't look. Maybe he did mean you, so does that mean you don't believe you are the fast hill?

Yep, I meant Steve.

To get back to this, I have a design finalized now. The scraper is part of a full length windage tray. They will be made from aluminum and since being mounted to the mains rather than the pan rails, should be much easier to install than others on the market. I will get pics up when the first prototypes are done. One other note, the design has the scraper mounted tangent to the crank rotation to make more of a chisel effect on the oil. The standard design has the scraper mounted perpendicular to the crank which while directing oil off the crank can also direct oil into the crank. If any one has any questions, let me know.

When do I get my 7-bolt one? Bahahaha

You like that leash idea Joe mentioned don't you. You guys seriously need more ventilation in that shop, the exhaust fumes from the constant dyno use are killing your brain

[Shane@DBPerformance]

Yea, I just can't keep mine from crankwalking or get them to make any damn power! Now go make me a 7-bolt crankscraper, I need to stay 100whp ahead of everyone else.

Never mind about the ventilation thing, after your last comment, I see it's already too late.

Of course I am kidding in the above comments. Your 7 bolt is performing very well.

That does make me think of something else that may not be too obvious to people. We run a lot of 2G oil pickups on our engines for a few reasons, they are stronger and a dented pan is less likely to cause siphon issues with the oil. The thing that I want to make sure people realize is that the 2G uses a short windage tray factory, the reason would be to keep oil in the sump for the different pickup design. I am sure there is not typically an issue with a 6 bolt using the 2g pickup without the tray, I don't know of any issues that have been directly tied to it anyway. However, I do think it would be a wise thing to add to a 6 bolt using a 2G pickup for that reason in addition to the other benefits mentioned.
