I've got a leaky oil pan gasket and while I'm replacing it I thought I'd install a windage tray and/or a crank scraper.

Anyone got any thoughts on the value of these - bang for the buck, etc?

Thanks

Some say they work good and others say they don't. I put a Mac tray in while while I had it apart. The worst thing that could happen is my engine will weigh 3 pounds more. The best thing that can happen is I'll pick up some power.

That's about what I'm thinking at this point.

Thanks

If you get the MAC make sure you clearance it for the dipstick, I have the MAC and I had to use an aftermarket dipstick so I could check my oil.

You'll have to do some minor clearancing on the tray to clear the oil pump, they instructions didnt say anything about the dipstick.
