Hi all

 

On rebuilding the engine today, i installed a new primary gear from minispares.  I noticed when it arrived it was missing the 'lip' however, once after installation i realised this was the oil slinger.  It is present and serviceable on my old one, however i didn't put it on the new primary gear.  Am I going to face any issues? Or is it best to pull the gear off (utter pain in the arse) and fit it along with a new seal? Or if i use a primary gear puller, will the seal be ok to reuse?

My minispares primary gear doesn't have the flinger and its been ok, although my other one with a different tooth count I bought from them about 12 years ago does.

Sorry, the other primary that does have a slinger is an older non floating bush type. The newer one I'm currently running is a floating bush type without a slinger. No problems with either of them, just changed to get different drop gear ratios.

The early Primary Gears from the Factory didn't have a slinger, it was introduced during production about 65-66-ish due to issues with Oil getting past the seal.

 

With the latest Black Primary Gear Oil Seal, you will most likely be OK.

I'm running the standard old style orange seal, not had a problem yet....
