Vortech V3 failure

What's the slinger made of? Brass or steel? What I found with the brass slingers on other equipment. Is that if they get a worn spot on the inside. When the equipment stops and the slinger comes to rest. If it rests on that worn spot. When the equipment is restarted. The slinger will NOT spin with the shaft. The other thing is if the slinger is out of round. The same thing happens. With either brass or steel.

I'm pretty sure it's steel, I'm not sure if it's stainless. It's basically tack welded to the shaft. The oil slinger is their most common failure point.

Never seen one that's tack welded to the shaft.

You sure it didn't weld it's self to the shaft?

Straight from the email I received from vortech. I then talked to another shop that verified it.

"The gear sets are matched sets, the oil slinger is welded to the shaft, so it can’t just be replaced by itself"

Ok, I see that it uses a disc instead of a ring. From the pictures I've seen. It looks like the disc distorts at high rpm. Then it makes contact, destroying it's self.

That could possibly be what happens.
