tirod – surely what shows in the photos is the oil cloud? I didn’t know what a windage tray or a crank scraper is, so did a bit of looking around. Doesn’t the windage tray attempt to control or limit the oil cloud, which when not controlled, provides resistance to the rotating assembly? It seems that when done correctly, a windage tray can contribute to a power improvement of around 3%.
Cheers,
Glen
