oil slinger - yes or no?
<I have found that if you don't use the slinger,, your pulleys will be misaligned>
Is that because the slinger adds to the "stack" and puts the dampener further forward? Only pulley I will have will be the alternator.
Yes to the stacking...
Well, the way I look at it, anything that shields oil from splashing the front seal, and oils the chain, can't be bad .. and to maintain proper pulley alignment,, , why not?
what's saved by leaving it out ??
If the client notices, or has it pointed out, then it looks like I do sloppy work..
We spend hundreds/thousands of $$ to build engine to tolerances,, it just doesn't make sense to get sloppy now,, jmho..
I guess for race only application it's okay,, but personally I would use it if I had it..
