oil slinger - yes or no?

The slinger is to keep the hot oil off of the seal. There is also one built on the rear of the crank in front of the seal. There is also a V shaped Dam built into the timing cover to cause the oil to flow around and off of the crank.

That is why it is called a slinger and not a oiler. I do not use the slinger on automatic race engines. the less resiprocating weight the more torque.

On 4 spd. motors you want the weight for inertia on the holeshot and shift. Unless you leave off to shift like some pussies do.

Look at this thread for chain oiling info. This is the way to go and throw the sllinger in the garbage on a race motor.

I cut most of the rear one off of my crank.. My car is auto so the rods are light and the crank is also knifed.

Little motors need all the advantage they can get. I take everything I can get for free. Here is the thread . Check out the oiling through the years at the end of the thread.
