Crank scrapers or plate...?

nm9 I found my notes from 5 seperate phone calls to Kevin Johnson I took before I bought my scraper. This is the first engine I used up and down scrapers on, the first time I used a Teflon scraper on and the first one I didn't make myself. I'll never make another for the money he charges! Plus his stuff is very very nice.

Looking over the notes, the conversation totaled some 90 minutes of discussion and covered areas from entrainment to gaseous bubble expansion rates to things way beyond my ability to explain.

For me to type out a cogent summary of what is in my notes will be next to impossible if it to be understandable. When I read the notes, I understand what he was saying and how it all fits together. I don't have the writing skills to make it cogent. Most of what I would write will make no sense and it would take, probably, 3-4 typed pages to make it even close to useful for anyone.

I suggest (and always do in cases like this) that anyone with an interest in why this should be used should call IJ crank scrapers and talk to Kevin themselves. Take notes and write quick because it's like trying to take a drink from a fire hose. If he explains the science behind why oil temps can drop and that's a good thing, you'll get a better understanding than if I do it. Oil saturated with air won't cool as well as solid oil, so a scraper can make oil temps go down. Also, compresses and a scraper can reduce entrained bubbles in the oil a scraper can make oil pressure go up.

He explains it better that I can here. Worth the call.
