crank scraper question

Hmmmm. Anyway, as long as the OP is a bit judicious with the silicone he shouldn’t have any issues.

I was going to measure my crank scraper today but forgot.

Maybe tomorrow. If I remember.
Also with the scrapers, when I get them where I want, I like dowel them to the block so they always go back to the exact same spot. Makes it easier if you're taking it on and off to fine tune the clearances. I trim the dowel level with the scraper. I've used the IJ ones but pan hole alignment can vary. The last BB one I did had the rear holes off quite a bit.
