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 only $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.

  The stock 2.0 engine in the 95-99 Eclipse -- often referred to as the 420A block -- lacks a windage tray or any oil baffling in the stock pan*.  Many people have written to us and commented in forums that they experience drops in oil pressure when driving enthusiastically.  The stock oil pan is actually a high quality piece it just needs some oil control hardware. 

We now make a dual-windage tray for this engine with louvers and lower baffles with swinging doors. (The above pictures show the set up installed in a 420A Dodge Neon pan; here are pictures of the different set up for the steel DSM pan:

) It attaches to a modified crank scraper (steel or TeflonŽ) framework that has bridges across the crankcase. The dual-windage tray has a top louvered section that can be adjusted to closely follow the rotating assembly. Underneath this louvered tray is a second tray with offset drain slots. The trays are separated by a gap of 4.5mm. These drainage holes and gap allow the top louvers to quickly direct the oil out of the path of the rotating assembly. Conversely they also help to isolate the rotating assembly from splashing sump oil that would otherwise come through the louvers. The two lower oil baffles have three independent swinging trap doors that help to keep oil around the pump pickup during hard turns.

Another advanced feature are the four attachment baffles that hold the windage tray assembly to the scraper frame. These are solid plates that help to segregate the piston bays. Why? When one area of the crank has a high concentration of oil in the windage cloud the crank acts like a propeller and distributes this oil along its length. By closing this path off the oil cloud is instead focused into the tray louvers and of course the crank scraper. You can see this type of feature in the Ford Zetec sump and other racing engines.

Lastly, as you can see in the above pictures, there is plenty of clearance for the oil dipstick and the dipstick readings are unchanged.

The windage tray and baffles are an additional $230 to the price of either type scraper (standard steel or TeflonŽ), so $309.95 for the steel version; $409.95 for the TeflonŽ version.

NEW! The 420A is now a dual scraper: $79.95.

*Important!  There is a steel and aluminum stock Neon pan as well as another steel pan for this engine when installed in DSM vehicles like the Eclipse.  Each of these pans has a very different internal shape and requires a different set of lower baffles and trap doors.  You must let us know which pan you will be using.
