That is the scraper m8, the only bit i took off is the teflon and the bit that holds the teflon on
the teflon is the main bit of the scrapper though surely as thats gets right to the crank and gets the oil off it.. you can practically run it touching to get every last bit of oil off..
on the site it says you can run it within 1thou and the teflon will bed in resulting in the nest result like this :-
youve baught it get it in dude
they work great..

Looks a good build, 185whp from a DE will be epic.
the teflon is just an optional extra that you can have, mine as it stands is just a normal scraper. I took it off to get a compromise between function and clearance as i dont want it ending up like the guys in rowdys thread did.
That's the reason i took the stuff off it and opened the gaps up, that guy was a dick anyway lol
from what i remember, that wasnt the crank scraper though it was the SR16VE windage tray that fits in the sump.. it has 3 scrappers that stick up.. that are meant for the smaller crank.. he bent them with his fingers thinking they were far enough away but they werent.. im having to cutt mine off..
his teflon scrapper was fine though.. the yanks use them all the time..

brapp brapp!
And the money shot from above
oh DANG.
re quoting this as its correct.. page 11 on his build thread you can see the damage was caused to the windage tray.. he also has DET rods..
I'm still gunna leave it as is, it's got 1mm clearance as per instructions so I'm happy
Right today's first installment, fitted the BC springs and titanium retainers to the head
A shot of the inlet porting
VE metal headgasket
Head is on!!
Tonights job is to button down the head and possibly fit the cams so i can get the timing bob on before i put the front cover on.

The engine build guide i've been looking at says put the front cover on afterwards. http://forums.nicoclub.com/diy-rebuilding-an-sr20det-t309576.html It's a very good guide imo
Why is everyone saying put the front cover on first? It'll be so easy to get the timing spot on with it off and it'll go on fine after the head. Answer me this people, if you had to change you're oil pump would you take the head off to do it?
