I not exactly sure what an oil slinger on the crankshaft is supposed to look like? I don’t believe there is anything I have left out when I reassembled the front of the engine. If it’s not there I don’t think it was ever there? What exactly does it look like and where does it go? You’ll have to excuse my ignorance I’m just learning all this as I go along.

Hopefully the responses you got helped !! I see there is a pic of and oil slinger and where it goes !! I think the different responses on whether you need and oil slinger or not is one of those deals that only matters if you are having trouble with oil leaking or not !! The factory put it there to keep the high pressure oil spray that is spraying towards the seal that is oiling the timing chain !! That’s all it does ! I suspect some people run them some don’t !! Who really cares unless you are having a oil leakage problem from the timing cover gasket or seal !! Then you mite for insurance sake put one in there and do the other stuff these knowledgable guys are telling you to try !! It’s cheap ! It’s not going to cost you horsepower !! And it’s easy !
