By slick56 - 11 Years Ago The 312 in my 56 is knackered. so i am assembling a 64 truck 292 to replace. In the 56 workshop manual it shows a spacer behind the harmonic balancer, and no oil slinger. The spacer wasn't installed when i dis-assembled the front of the 312. The truck engine has the oil slinger, but i do not know if there should be a spacer too? If it does, does anyone know the thickness? Thanks. . By aussiebill - 11 Years Ago slick56 (2/18/2014) The 312 in my 56 is knackered. so i am assembling a 64 truck 292 to replace.

Dont have a spacer that i,ve ever seen, only the oil slinger then the timeing gear. Some illustrations are generic,maybe FE ? By slick56 - 11 Years Ago Here is the image from the workshop manual, shows 272 and 292 and Thunderbird setup, shows a spacer but no slinger . By Glen Henderson - 11 Years Ago I think that is the front seal. By slick56 - 11 Years Ago Glen Henderson (2/20/2014) I think that is the front seal. I think you are right Glen! That is the longest "senior moment" i've had for a while... I will assemble with the slinger off the 292 (312 didn't have one). Thanks. . By Genuinerod - 11 Years Ago Starting in 1956, the slinger was added (part number 6310) to the crank shaft. Later parts manuals shows this part.
