Employ the offset rear seal instead. Information technology works a lot improve.

Check out the Goodson cataloge.
They sell the tools for both Ford and GM. They are cheap and the best way to install the sleeves.
A give-and-take of caution about the flywheel bolts. DO NOT use an touch to install them information technology will misconstrue the seal surface and a weepie rear seal volition consequence

Over here in Oz, y'all can buy a kit called a Speedi Sleeve / dear as toxicant regardless of what diameter y'all require. Kit comes with sleeve and an outer hub to knock the sleeve onto area requiring repair. My best result with these repair sleeves has been to lightly rough upwardly the original area with some 600 dust paper so smear red loctite on the surface and install the sleeve.

This non only aids in keeping the repair sleeve in place but more than importantly, it prevents the repair sleeve from wearing into the original worn section.

Hope this makes sense. Trying to locate a video or some info for those interested. Promise i am understanding the first postal service correctly?

Past the way, i have never really come to terms with the fact that using
a rattle gun / pneumatic type fastener installer can crusade so much distortion in an object to allow a seal to leak, i commonly tension each commodities on a flywheel/flexplate equally anyhow. But has e'er intrigued me as to how this tin happen???

Thanks guys, and I hope I'm not trying to steer the chat abroad from Drifter's question.

My crank is a Gen vi 502 crank. Had the crank turned, suprised they didnt dress-upwards the seal area, mayhap there's not much they can do about that. When I exam fitting the 1 piece seal, it didnt seem to grab tight...shoulda known correct then, but figured maybe its not supposed to or it volition dig into the crank. Its weeping a bit right at present. I am using a Felpro seal. Mayhap I should try a GM seal outset. I accept a feeling that b/c teh crank is groovedm the lip may/may not exist centered in that goove. I should try pushing the existing seal back into the block a bit first.

Can those sleeves be installed with the motor in the car (trans/flyweel off patently).

Malvan, doesnt really go into detail regarding what's involved with installing the sleeve. Is in that location a special "tool" or something?

If you would take went a little further you would have read this part

Speedi-Sleeve is a fast and effective fashion to refinish a seal-worn shaft. Information technology'south quicker than remetalizing or regrinding, and it can also produce better results. The exterior surface of a Speedi-Sleeve forms an ideal sealing surface. Many popular regrinding and refinishing techniques produce a surface which cannot be properly sealed.
The standard range of Speedi-Sleeve sizes covers shaft diameters from .5" to 8" (12mm to 200mm). Speedi-Sleeves are engineered from the finest AISI 304 stainless steel and take a hardness of approximately Rockwell B95. The surface is factory finished to Ra 10 to 20 micro inches (.25 to .5 micrometers) with no automobile atomic number 82, and so expensive machining or preparation is not required earlier mounting.

While installation is simple, information technology must be done with care in order to assure proper results. An installation tool that makes it easy to start the sleeve squarely on the shaft is packaged with every sleeve.

Promise this helps
