It's surprising how opinions differ on trays. The talk used to be that we had to have a tray to break up the rope of oil swirling around the crank. My pan still has the factory two piece solid pan welded in. It's pretty far from the crank. I leave it in cause I feel like it helps keep oil in the sump during shut down.
The scraper is for the "rope of oil" on the crank.
I can see what Pete is talking about. I might should look into that.
