I have the Moroso pan with an Ishihara-Johnson crank scraper. The crank scraper was a bitch to fit (do it BEFORE you put the pan in place). No sealing problems (use the pan sealant that Honda sells). The drain plug threads were not cut very well. I lapped them in at the bench and have had no problem. My welds are fine. I had a problem with drops of oil forming on a couple of the studs (with nuts in place), but removed the studs and sealed in place by reinstalling them with RTV. This did not require removing the pan.

I would also recommend installing the Canton 6" filter with the pan. Makes the filter easier to get to, filters better, and looks cool anodized in blue.
