For you DIY ers, I made a crank scraper for my 5.3. I used a General # 837 contour tool. Laid it on a metal ruler to give it the right height. Rotated the crank to fit it with the tool. Transferred the outline to cardboard to make the final adjustments. Used that for a template for the steel and cut it out. Left about 1/16” clearance. Also opened up the vent slots on the windage tray.
I cut out the windage tray where the tube tab is on the left side so that it sits as original.
By the way, on my truck, the clamp that bolts the oil pick up tube does not do a thing. It is the two windage tray bolts the hold the tube in. The ring in the tube sets .050” below the surface of the oil pump so the clamp does not hold it in.
Hello, 64post,
I like the way your scraper is set up. With full coverage on the counter weights and a short middle coverage. Many scrapers have the middle tab extend past the center of rotation that would tend to keep the oil mist up in the crank case--opposite of want your would want.
And, I also, did not make the skinning finger protrusions along the rods, that is just asking for trouble if they would vibrate off!
