Fitted the crank scraper today. This is a hand made one from Ishihara & Johnson, you have to custom fit it to your particular engine which takes a few hours. The white teflon actually just touches and wears to the correct clearance. They make some proper mad stuff, have a look at crankscrapers.com.
