76. This check must be made with the flywheel housing
in place on the engine and the oil seal removed.
If the crankshaft rear oil seal surface is grooved
excessively, an oil seal spacer (Fig. 5) may be installed
between the counterbore in the flywheel housing and the
oil seal. The spacer changes the relative position of the
seal and establishes a new contact surface.
When the oil seal spacer can no longer be used, an oil
seal sleeve (Fig. 5) may be installed on the crankshaft
to provide a replaceable wear surface at the point of
contact with the rear oil seal. The oil seal sleeve may
be used with the single-lip type oil seal, and can also be
used in conjunction with the seal spacer. However, an
oversize oil seal must be used with the sleeve.
Install an oil seal sleeve as follows:
1. Stone the high spots from the oil seal contact surface
of the crankshaft.

2. Coat the area of the shaft where the sleeve will be
positioned with shellac or an equivalent sealant.
