Big block Mopar is new to me, always dealt with small block, and it's a Hemi. So just discovered this in my '69 FPB. Looks like I installed the crankshaft oil slinger on the wrong side of the timing gear chain. On a 383-440, it looks like the cup side facing forward and front of timing gear. The 426 shows cup facing to the rear and on the backside of the timing gear. Which is it?
Hemi oil slinger, Gen ll
- Thread starter Bird 426
- Start date
The slinger is supposed to keep oil away from the front seal. And it should not be in contact with the chain. So ... it goes on after the sprocket with one side flush to the sprocket and the "lip" facing the timing cover.
That is how I have it installed. First picture 383-440. Second 426. Just went into my FSM, didn't think that it would be there, but there it was, timing chain removal and install. Slinger goes on the outside, not the inside.
Thank you for answering!

I think that sequence for the Hemi FSM must have been laid out on a Monday or Friday!
