The the oil slinger is shown in the TSM so I knew about it, but thanks for the pictures.  My engine parts box was missing the little trough that channels oil from the front of the cam onto the timing chain.  I couldn't find it and would have missed installing it if I had not dissassembled the front of the spare engine I have.  It's always good to have a complete example to go by.  I borrowed the oil trough from that engine and also the harmonic balancer bolt.   I did discover that the center washer in the harmonic balancer just presses out with thumb pressure so you can install the new ring gasket around the bolt and the little cork washer on the back side of the balancer. The pictures in the TSMs make sense now.  I'll post pictures of this area on my photobucket site this weekend.  Thanks again for the pictures.  They will come in handy I'm sure.
