Hey guys,
Im building a 98 4.6 stroker I got the stage 2 kit from Cleggs along with the PowerPoint balance. when I took the motor apart it didn't have a oil slinger in it I even went back and looked at pictures I took and its not there.
My question is do I need to have one in it? I have read several posts and no one just flat out says yes or no.

Re: Oil slinger question
If memory serves, there is an oil drain hole from the head to the top of the timing chain that supplies oil on certain years -- probably yours. I didn't save the picture, but it would be around 11 o'Clock in reference to your cam gear. If you have that oil drainback passage, then you don't need the slinger.
