And there I was thinking with out the "oil thrower" the oil would leak out...

The engines not been run since its rebuild however I tried filling it with oil and would turn it over by hand.... leave it a night or two and come back to find it pee'd itself...

Flywheel boss is now sporting a Speedi Sleeve...

I'll double check what I've ordered and supplied the engine builder...

thanks for all the feedback

If the negine hasn't been run it won't be leaking from the rear cranksahft seal unless it was grossly overfilled.

Indeed Jim... noted. 

Ready to put it back together and hopefully start with a rather oil tight engine..
