outside oioer

[donQ]

Do you have to install an oil slinger kit to make on outside oiler work well?

If you have removed the magnets from the flywheel you have to add something back otherwise no oil will be moved at all - to the inside or an accessory outside line.

If the magnets are still there you have no place to put the slingers.

Yes and no, if you have a starter type engine, the ring gear and flywheel do a fair job of slinging all the oil around the inside. If you chose to go without magnets and add slingers get the good ones. The cheap ones have been know to bend and break. Of course as Mark W said, if you have magnets you don't need slingers. Unless you are building a speedster part of the mystique of owing a Model T is the built in AC generator that powers the coils. (I do not have a problem with anyone using a distributor or even a water pump )

Thanks guys. I'd like to get the benefit of more oil to the front of the engine, without going to the trouble of removing magnets and adding slingers.

The direct answer to your question is : The outside oil line from magneto post to front of engine work very well is as is condition. Pretty amazing how much an opening can pump oil just from the stock flywheel. Ex: a loose starter cover screw will cover a garage floor in a few seconds.....
