So... my engine build is a 87-92 302 roller block. I'm getting ready to install the timing cover and remeber the oild slinger on my 289. Now does this roller block need the slinger too? Because i can't find it at summit or jegs or anywhere! My timing cover is a generic aluminum one that is supposed to fit all years of the 302. Help Please...

I'm taking pics of the whole process and will be posting soon for everyones refrence so they don't have to struggle through my same problems!

 

Yep on the slinger, check with local ford dealer or parts store.

 

Thanks... Guess i'm on the hunt for a slinger... damn it! Really wanted to get the bottom end buttoned up today... oh well... need to do it right! Will i need to flatten it at all to make it fit with the double timing chain???

 

No, it goes on the cam bolt and it will have an inch of clearance i'm sure.
