pontiac know-it-alls, this one is for you

i started to replace my timing chain cover gasket set on my '62 pontiac tempest 195 cu in. slant 4 clylinder engine. when i went to change out the cork gasket for the crankshaft where the oil was mainly leaking from there is a metal race behind it that has kind of like a flexable wave washer that you can push on and open and close. the guy at checker said that i need to replace it cause it should not depress as easily as it does. it does return to the highest position after depressing. i asked if he carried that part and kind of laughed which i did to as i asked. he says maybe napa or carquest. do you know of the part i am in search of. it slides on the end of the crank and has a slot for the key weight in it. any help is appreciated

 

my chasis shop manual shows the part in the v8 and lists it as an oil slinger. is that all it is and where the hell can i get one?

 

That spring loaded piece used to come in gasket sets years ago; I probably still have one lying around somewhere, if you can't find one.
