Crank scrapers or plate...?

Good thoughts. In the case of the less aerated oil, it ought also show up in a bit lower coolant temps if it is really allowing better heat transfer by the oil. I was thinking that the crankcase and pistons will be a bit hotter since there would be less oil flung onto them...... And I appreciate oil aeration, being as I run 3 diesels and know how they sound when the anti-foaming agents wear out in the oil. (Not quite the same, I know, but you gain an appreciation.)

Siiiigh... I guess someone is going to have the break the news to J Par that he needs scrapers in that budget 360 that he is rebuilding. There goes the budget....
