burntz Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Hi, I was reading through my "How to Modify Your Nissan/Datsun OHC Engine" and on page 93 there is a Note: Do not install a crankshaft oil slinger. Does anyone know why you shouldn't put this back on the crank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMortensen Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I suppose it could crush slightly somehow and cause the crank bolt to back out... I used mine, but next time I get the cover off I'm removing it just for safety's sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffp Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Well there are a couple reasons. The first reason is that it is not needed to get oil to the chain, there is plenty of oil floating around in the crank snout area for any need of it. The second reason and more importantly is that it hinders the damper torque. I took mine off when my damper lostened up because of it. The part tore up the surface of my damper mating area, and then destroyed itself in the process. Then I had little metal shavings in my oil pan, not good. Luckily I had that happen Before I rebuilt the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read my last post on 'firing up new motor..' and I just tosed the oil slinger cause it was.. ah, really f'd up. I was wondering if I was going to have problem without it on there, good to know I don't need that little bugger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
