no matter what the product does, it would be hard for me to buy something from a company called "Crank Scrapers"I once bought a set of lifters made by a company called Manley. I think I still have the box, because it said "Manley Performance Parts" on it. But you wouldn't want to leave a Crank Scrapers box just lying around for anyone to see.

I guess I was just asking about the idea of a pickup adjustment kit. I've never heard of one before.

It's useful if you do a lot of racing,hard acceleration or autocross racing with your stock oil pan.It just puts your pickup closer to the bottom of the pan so it's less likely to starve for oil.But what if you buy a bigger oil pan with a windage tray,this would be useless then.

To avoid oil starvation, just eat more oil.

The best way to prevent that is geting MWR's new oil pan. found here:http://monkeywrenchracing.com/....htmlAlso theres a upgrade oil pump gear you can gethttp://monkeywrenchracing.com/....html
