Hi everyone

Was cleaning around the timing gear to refit the gasket and cover when I accidentally knocked the round spacer that was siting on the pulley shaft.

It has like an indent on the inner ring, so does it sit so the indent is rad/pulley side or does it sit so the further out bit sits next to the block?

Seems like a stupid question but I have to get it right!

Cheers
James

The convex face you can see above goes outwards.

should be an "F" on the convex side, means "Front"

Sorry yeah my bad, didn't have specs on. It is concave there, ain't it! :oops:

Duplex ones have F marked on em, I dunno about the deeper simplex ones like yours.

Mine looks as though it has an L stamped into the convex side. (single chain)

Just so you know, there are 2 types of slinger.
The one you have will only fit with a single row (simplex) chain.
There is also a flatter one that is made for a duplex chain, but will fit with either.
