Molnar crank on balancer
But they also make crank scrapers and dry sumps. Everyone would have a different opinion on that question.
I say keep the oil from being picked up by the crank for performance reasons and to keep the oil in the pan for oiling reasons. Our race block is also made to keep the oil from returning down the center over the cam or crank. There are holes to thread for plugs. It flows around the reciprocating masses. What would have been the reason for that? They even sealed off the oil pump drive gear area,
Here are pictures of our race blocks, Newer Resto R3 and an old X block. Note the closed valley on the new block. There is a reason for this?
They put equal in truck tires to balance them so would it effect balance? Only the crank would know.
