I also think that a running clearance of near zero is better than the .030-.060 you need with just a steel scraper.

I would make a pattern on an assembled engine and fab one up. With all the different parts combinations, how could they begin to make one and hope to have it be close.


This is kind of my point above. Lots of work making it right and even then it is still not right. I'd need to weld it up in places and add some steel to other places.

I will put clay in the bottom of my Milodon truck rear sump pan and then carve out a side scraper that fits 0.030" - 0.060" to my 4" throws and weld it to the pans side. I will also be adding baffels to that pan.

And I am running a 5/8" pipe direct pump pickup like below. That stock 5.2 3/8" pump pickup gets a 3/8 pipe plug in the oil pump hole..

I will run 6 quarts in that 8 qt pan but cut the dipstick tube to fit.
