Post nr. 1105	Crank scrapers have been around a long time. They do work at high RPM. I would consider one for a track engine but I don't see the benefit for street use.

Post nr. 1	The crank scraper will do everything the seller said it would. You will gain some hp at high RPM because it strips the crank of all the excess oil flinging off, in effect reducing the rotating mass of the engine. I would say the biggest benifit is going to be keeping oil from climing the block in hard left hand turns. In my opinion it's good insurance for any street car that gets driven hard, but a must for anything that sees track time. Here's a pic of my Ishara-Johnson scraper, it has trap doors that close to keep the oil from running up the side.
