RAY: The oil slinger is a thin metal disc that deflects the oil away from the crankshaft seal. The oil that lubricates the timing chain is pumped toward the crankshaft seal at high pressure and very high volume.

What is the oil slinger driven by?
The oil slinger disc arrangement is simple to understand. A disc is mounted inside the bearing housing and is driven by the pump shaft.
What is Grease slinger?
Slinger: Prevents oil leakage from a high speed journal bearing. Uses centrifugal force to throw oil that leaks through the bearing, into a groove that returns the oil to the reservoir. E. L.
Where is the oil pump and strainer located?
It is generally located inside the lower part of the engine, usually below and/or to one side of the crankshaft.
Why is my car losing oil but no leak?
When a car mysteriously loses oil, there are usually two possible causes: either you've sprung a leak, or your engine is burning it away. ... But if you have to add a quart or more of oil to your engine between changes and there's no leak to be found, chances are your vehicle's burning oil.
What do the dots on dipstick mean?
The oil dipstick has two dots. The dot closer to the end is the minimum required oil level and the dot above indicates your max oil level.
Why is my dipstick covered in oil?
Oil in the sump (where oil pools at the bottom of the engine) gets flung about by the engine internals so it can cool / lubricate the engine. The dipstick pokes down into that chamber, so it's natural for oil to cover the entire dipstick that goes down the guide tube and into the block.
Why is my car burning oil so fast?
Burning oil is often the result of worn out parts. For example, worn valve seals and/or piston rings could lead to your car burning oil. Both valve seals and piston rings work to keep engine oil out of the combustion chamber.
What does burning oil smell like in a car?
If Your Car Smells Like Acrid Smoke Or Burning Oil
Also, a low oil level could damage the engine. If you notice the smell not long after an oil change, the leak might be caused by a loose drain plug or filter that wasn't properly attached—or an oil cap that wasn't screwed on tightly enough.
What are oil pumps called?
- A pumpjack (also called donkey pumper, nodding donkey, pumping unit, horsehead pump, rocking horse, beam pump, dinosaur, sucker rod pump, grasshopper pump, Big Texan, thirsty bird, or jack pump) is the overground drive for a reciprocating piston pump in an oil well.
What controls the pressure in the oil pump?
The oil pressure is controlled by bearing tolerances within the engine and the pressure regulating valve assembly in the oil pump.
