Oil Slinger - 1977 Pontiac Transam SE

<< < (2/3) > >>

1977 Transam:
Thanks for all the replies guys.

Leigh as far as I know it's a metal washer that deflects oil from the timer seal.  I think it sits inside the timing cover.

What's funny is I don't know what any of that is.  He he.

Just memorizing what the engineer told me.  Sounds good though.

bonnevista:
Like Leigh, I've been in Pontiacs a long time.  I've never heard of a thing called an oil slinger in a Pontiac engine...

1977 Transam:
I had never heard of one before the engineer told me.

I then asked Butler in the states and he didn't flinch when I mentioned it.

Basically said he didn't have a used or new one.

I'm sort of stuck now.  Might explain why I can't find one.

bonnevista:
BTW, just because I haven't heard of it means zip...

1977 Transam:
He he. I'll keep that in mind Bonnevista.
