There is another reason to makie sure you do not foget the oil slinger - It moves excess oil away from your crank seal.
Of all the engines I have rebuit, or repaired, the engines that leaked oil from the front seal did not have a slinger inplace. Also, they usually were being repaired for timing chain problems, sometimes a bad oil leak lead to finding a timing chain problem.
...and, unless it is the flat disc type, there is a proper direction for it to face when you install it, you just have to find out what direction the manufacturer wanted to face.
