Cam sprocket question

[Gene Gillam]

In the far back reaches of my mind I seem to remember that part 72 (oil thrower) is actually supposed to be turned around and not installed as shown.  It makes sense to me since if installed this way it gets crushed and actually doesn t do a damn thing.

Thanks in advance

Found this:  https://www.mgexp.com/forum/t-series-and-prewar-forum.46/my-xpag-rebuild-progress.3765207/page-3 Read down through it...this is the same adjustable cam gear I have and you can see why I question the direction of the piece. Gene Gillam Sent from my iPad

NO, correctly installed as shown. It flings the oil from the front cam bearing back into the face of the cam gear where is is flung outwards to the groove in the gear teeth area and then through holes to lubricate the timing chain,
