Frequently asked questions

What does the Oil Thrower do?

The Oil Thrower is a pressed-steel disc on the crankshaft of the Rover 3.5 V8. It spins with the crank and uses centrifugal force to fling oil away from the rear journal before it reaches the rear crankshaft seal, helping control oil loss at the back of the engine.

Where does the Oil Thrower fit on the V8?

The Oil Thrower sits on the crankshaft as part of the rear oil retention setup in the Rover 3.5 V8 block. It fits V8 Series III, Range Rover Classic, Defender, and Discovery 1 applications, and is usually accessed when the gearbox and flywheel are off.

Should the Oil Thrower be replaced during a rear seal job?

Yes, the Oil Thrower is typically inspected and renewed when replacing the rear crankshaft seal on the Rover V8, since both are exposed at the same time. Fitting a worn or distorted thrower can let oil past the seal, so it's worth doing together.
