Oil Slinger Ring
Posted: Sun Aug 09, 2020 8:15 am
Hi guys,
I have a question about an oil slinger that rides on the crankshaft of a BD240. It sits inside the timing cover. It seems as though it floats loose on the crank, which doesn't seem right to me. Only thing I can figure is that it gets pinched into place by the balancer, but I haven't installed the balancer yet (waiting on a cover gasket).
Are you guys familiar with this? I can't imagine it is supposed to float around loose in there...
