I've never seen an oil scraper made for an L28 engine before so thought I would post it.

This is pretty sweet how close does it get to the weight on the crank?

It looks like it was made by Ishihara-Johnson http://crank-scrapers.com/Datsun-Nissan_L_SERIES.html

$129 new! It looks like it comes with an additional scraper that works on the upstroke.

This guy is using the same brand `IJ` scrapper, he sets to 40thou of clearance! Quite close

I would think  couple of mm

I would think no more than a couple mm away in order to wipe off the as much as possible.

Oh I see what @heyitsrama just posted, 40 thou, Yikes!  It would certainly free up some HP but not to be used on an engine that requires splash to lube moving parts.
