Nope. At least not very well. Because the 266/304 have shorter stroke than
the 345/392 do.

In fact--if it works on a 392, it wouldn't be quite right on a 345--because
the counterweights at the ends of the 392 cranks are somewhat bigger than
those on a 345.

A GOOD crank scraper gets REALLY close---
