Yes on the slinger. Before I finalize things i need to install the slinger and damper just to make sure there's no problems.
I agree on the oil robbing. Someone mentioned that the hole in the gallery plug should be about .025 if I remember right. The way I envisioned it, and I might need to change that, is to maybe have NO plug but positively seal that area so no pressure drop there. The restriction would be at the bottom of the tube at what would be the nozzle(s). I think i need to figure out how many of what size holes would be good enough to oil without a measurable pressure drop upstream. If I go too small on the holes there's the chance they might get clogged with something. Too big and may have pressure problems.
Yeah I do think alot, sometimes that annoys people. Think twice, cut once, as they say.
