coffee break Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Has any one ever used a crankshaft scraper? I found this on Pegasus. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=3525 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I used one on my Alfa, but unlike the one you linked to, it covered both sides of the crank and supposedly helped to stiffen the block. It was done as part of a major engine build, so I can't make any comments on effectiveness, but it didn't cause any problems -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee break Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 I'm thinking about removing the heater from my car. I have an intake manifold gasket that blanks the water passage. I can plug the port on the waterpump to complete the black off. My question is, how do I refill the coolant and not get air pockets in the cylinder head? :bigear: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
