Q: how critical if leave oil slinger off? I have one source saying ok and another saying not ok. thanks in advance kerby2 Re: timing chain & gear replacement [Re: kerby2] #865523 01/31/08 04:53 PM Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 7,768 Central Texas BigJim Web Wheeler Hmmm I have never run into such a problem. MAybe going to a different parts house with that gear in hand and checking to see if another brand would allow the slinger to be used. I am a fan of the slinger.. It helps to keep them little smudges of oil off of the front of the engine. Timimg chains/gears aren't much of a problem in Jeep engines they seem to last forever..
