We will try to keep this list updated but if you do not see your engine listed here please ask!  We can  do custom stroker or knife-edge crank designs.  We can provide plastic templates for initial fitting and adjustment.

 

We have included some representative pictures of the scrapers we make.  If you would like to see a picture of a particular scraper please ask -- we would be more than happy to send one through.

 

Our standard scrapers cost $59.95 unless noted.  When available (please enquire) our zero-clearance TeflonŽ scrapers run an additional $100.00 to the cost of the standard steel scraper unless noted.

 

Remember, your vehicle may have an engine made by a different manufacturer so check both product lines.  If you are still unsure, please contact us.

NEW!  Scraper specifically for the ZZ4 and ZZ430 crate motors from GM Performance:

 

Vortech 2.2 (L4) scraper and dual windage tray set up.  A scraper and secondary support attach under the main bearing cap bolts and form the supporting substructure for a dual windage tray that has three sets of louvers and vertical  segregation baffles.  The louvers have directional screening with in them as well. The rotating assembly passes by the louvers before reaching the scraper, which approaches the rods and crank even more closely.  The lower tray has offset drainage grids where the oil skimmed by the louvers and scraper can pass into the sump.  Because the grids are curved sinsuoidal patterns sump oil cannot splash directly onto the crank as before.

Pictures are included below of the stock steel sump that this setup is designed to fit.

$279.95 for the scraper and dual windage trays together.

$59.95 for the scraper alone.

Knife-edged scrapers also available:

 

New product:

A full length directional screening windage tray for the small block Chevy.  A complex framework allows the windage tray to be attached using the stock main bearing cap bolts.  The tray will fit either two or four bolt mains and allows for the proper torquing sequence.   In the lower pictures you can see the included dipstick guide which can be made for a left or right hand side dipstick tube.  Also pictured is the optional crank scraper (350 pattern shown) which also can be made with left or right handed dipstick openings. 

$199.95 for the windage tray with included dipstick guide.

 

 

 

 

 

 

NEW!

Chevy straight six (230, 250, 292) crank scrapers (in TeflonŽ if desired) and an option for a full length windage tray.

Scraper alone: $59.95; scraper with windage tray: $299.95; TeflonŽ option on either: $100

The tray is mounted to oil pan rail plates -- one is a modified crank scraper, of course.   There are oil ejection ports underneath like on the factory Mopar slant six tray but these ports also have bevel edged inward facing louvers.  The side rail has oil vents to allow oil draining down the side of the block to reach the pan and the tray has an angled strip of metal lying beneath this area.  The strip serves two purposes -- one to guide the draining oil to the pan and another to act as a deflector to oil splashing laterally in the pan.  At the rear of the tray there is a panel of thin TeflonŽ that can be fitted tightly to the rear of the pan (it will flex upwards to improve the seal as well when the pan is installed).  This is an oil surge baffle that prevents the oil from climbing the rear under acceleration.  There is a movable block-off plate so that the tray can be used with oil pickup tube support struts that bolt to either the second or third main cap from the rear.  Many thanks to local Chevy drag racer Larry Page for lending me the blocks to construct the patterns!

 

60 degree V6 2.8, 3.1, 3.4 -- there are versions of the 2.8 with and without the crank reluctor ring (timing wheel).  This modification is also available for the other strokes.

 

 

The pictures below show the scraper for the 3.4 with aluminum sump and cross-bolted mains.  The scraper is designed to fit under the factory windage tray as well.
