Speedi sleeve question

[Vic Skirmants]

Looks good; and you don't have to remove the installation flange; it does not interfere with anything, and you might damage the sleeve; so leave it alone.

Finally today I put the new Viton oil seal and the speedi sleeve on the pulley, ran car for 20 minutes in the garage (rainy day) and NO leaks.
Time to celebrate.

Yeah Vic, left it on, saw no reason to remove it and take the chance of ruining it.

The seal in the timing cover should be flush with the surface.

The Factory tool, P73, for installing this seal has a .5 mm undercut which results in a correct seal installation depth of .5 mm below the timing cover bore for same--

[Vic Skirmants]

Either way will work. Just don't install the seal with the face protruding past the timing cover.
