Is there supposed to be an oil slinger before or after the crankshaft gear on a 1955 Ford 292 Thunderbird engine? It looks like someone may have put one behind the crank gear and it is destoyed metal hopefully not any other damage like to block or crank itself or bearings from heat.Is this gear with the cam gear a press on or will it pull off easy?
