New modified oil slinger
Thanks for all the comments. To address your concerns: No clearance problems. The main reason for making it was to address that issue. It is made of stainless and is .020 thicker than the stock one, so fatigue shouldn't be an issue. We even made the area around the keyway thicker to minimize that possibility. The centrifugal force is minimal. Can do an analysis on that using software before we sell any. I don't think there will be enough oil slinging off this thing to cause foaming. I think there might be more oil getting in there from the crank spinning by the number one cap. Just figured it couldn't hurt to improve chain oiling and clearance issues. Blade shape and rotation was designed to direct the oil back at the chain, not at the seal. Guess I will never know if it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, but doubt if it's the worst. It definitely won't gouge out like a spirograph like the original did. Probably sell for $20. Most of the labor is in the deburring from the plasma cutter.
