Dear Ron,
All of my Cleveland engine building references include installation of an oil slinger. It is not discussed as an optional part. Although it is a part not commonly available, I would think that in the interest of a long-term leak-free engine front seal, using an oil slinger would be beneficial.
Warmest regardsm, Chuck Engles
