Loki: I used a Stone in the Die Grinder (Big arse Dremel thing) to take the bulk out for the Rods to clear then used a mini Air Belt sander I have to Chamfer the leading edge and finally a machinists hand held Deburring knife to clean up all the edges!
CB: It takes a LOT of hand fitting to get it to mate to the crank as it arrives with oversize Teflon inserts!
The guys at Ishihara-Johnson were great to deal with when I approached them to make a Teflon 7M one!
Nick: Typical scrapers are set .040"/1mm away from the crank so don't actually touch and shear the oil away through surface tension, then Oil then returns to the Pan instead of whipping around with the crank.
The Teflon Scraper takes this one step further and actually contacts the Crank...
CB: I have the very first Teflon 7M scraper in my new motor I've just built (It's actually the one in that pic)
Haven't run it yet but it's a good product that's not too expensive!

If you go AN Fittings they're 2 piece so you could have 2 colours with flake on one and pearl on the other!
You need to colour coordinate the fittings for sure!
Maybe a nice Violet or Puce !:greddy:
There are a few Mk3/7M areas I wouldn't cheap out in Fuel and Oil are right at the top!
I'm using plain black oil rated hose by Parker that's easily within the spec of a car oil system temp and...
Lagged: LOL only Ulterior motive I could see was if JJ was a mad Greenie and wanted to stop me using too much Oil! ;)
Siman: Have you decided on a Cooler yet?
(The remote adaptor parts look nicely made)
You going AN fittings and braided hose on it all?
(damn expensive if you are)
JJ: Thanks for posting!
I have no hard data to support my stance it's just one of those things I've always done as I consider Oil and Filters to be cheap disposible components.
When I switch over to the Synthetic I'll be reassessing my change intervals.
I'm going to use a single 30 weight Valvoline running in oil for the initial breakin period then switch over to a 15/40 Penrite Synthetic and see how that goes.
Yep I thought I'd filled up the Supra with cash but found a few nooks and crannies to jam more in ;)!
MF do some nice work Steve!
(Only "Marine Mk3" I know of)
Steve: LOL dunno mine just about broke the bank here with a few unexpected purchases that weren't in the budget!
I have to wait till I go back to work next year before I can spend more ;)
