Absolutely. After trading a few emails with them, it's definitely on my build list now for the Vette. Shouldn't be too much longer...

The new scrapers are now in stock. We shipped out as many as we could today and if yours didn't ship it will go out tomorrow.

Thanks!

Here it is...




Motor is a LS3 with a 4.000" crank. I'm running their crank scraper, as well as their oil pan baffle. Those two things, along with a Thompson Motorsports ported high pressure oil pump, should keep my motor's oiling situation in check.

Thanks again guys.

We received ours and quality is very nice. I'll post up photos when doing the assembly.

What clearance did you have between the scrapper & crank counter weights?

I installed mine and ended up with .075. I have K1 crank & rods.

I honestly didn't measure. I bolted it up, then slowly rotated the crank to make sure everything cleared fine. The only question I have is the last bolt, closest to the oil pump, I couldn't put a nut on it because of the oil pickup tube.



I'm guessing it'll be alright. Maybe I can find a low profile nut to fit on it.

Improved Racing, thought?

Yeah, this is an issue when you use the ARP main studs because they are larger than the factory studs/bolts. It's best to secure it if you can. I don't remember the thread size off hand, I'll have to check when I get back to the office. But check out McMaster.com, they likely have a low-profile nut you can use.

Have you guys by any chance sent any EGM-303 scrapers to VCM in Australia yet, I'm waiting patiently for them to get in touch with me when they have stock.

Best wishes,
Jason.

Not yet, unfortunately. Their shipment is waiting on the GTO oil cooler adapters which are probably a couple of weeks away from being ready. They haven't asked us to ship the crank scrapers as a partial shipment yet.

I was actually able to remove the oil pickup tube, secure the crank scraper, then reinstall the pickup tube and had enough clearance.
