Tomei Crank Slicer & Baffle Questions
Hoping to get more info on this kit - namely specs!
Bought this kit, trying to make sure it gets installed correctly -
1)how far from the crank should all of these slicers be?
2) does that into consideration metal expansion from the slicers & the crank?
3) what are the torque specs for the bolts that need to be removed?
4) do you guys use any Loctite on the threads when bolting these parts on?
5) any other considerations?
Some other info here:

Update:: Specs were included with the kit:

bumping - instructions were included so i scanned them for anyone interested.
Is step 1 - Install the Light Plate the "3rd" piece of the scraper?
They don't seem to really mention clearance specs though, so I guess there's not that much play in it

Since crank rotational speed is high, not sure how propotional it would be between the scraping efficiency and clearance.
Don't think oil would be coated uniformly on the edge of crankshaft counter weight like those Lucas oil stabilizer gear box display at auto part shops.
But I can imagine it would be more like violant tornado of oil droplets at high rpm, so even "as-is" clearance might still be effective collecting some and let them drained into oil pan.
Interesting idea of using teflon blade that is made to "touch" the crank is shown at this link:

But don't think I would try that myself.

I did some reading on crank scrappers the past few days. I forget which engine, but in the 60's (I think Chrysler) added ppers to their engines after taking the oil pans off and seeing no oil in the pan over 6,000 rpms or something.
I'd have to go look it up for the exact quote, but I found that piece of information interesting.

yup, it's on the car and drives fine lol - I thought the Teflon scrapers were interesting too, purely from an intellectual standpoint. the wear of the Teflon has to go into the oil, though I guess it wouldn't take much to do that and do a quick flush. personally wouldn't do it though, just because lol. I'm not sure how much tolerance I have, but it's in and I'm good! Car is driving better than ever
