Thank you very much!I believe they are the same, I used a prebled system on my truck
Well, I decided against trying to start the truck to test the seal. I know it's installed wrong, and even though it sucks I'm going to pull it all back apart and replace the cover. I'm sure I bent it on the way out, and that's the only thing I can think of that's changed since the original was removed.Good idea. If there's a nick on the sleeve, there's a good chance that it will leak. I had to pull the E4OD out of an ambulance one time to replace the sleeve with a nick in it. There was a sharp burr on the crank for some reason. I filed that off and put on a new sleeve and no more leak. This was all because the guy who was hired to help build engines needed to wear glasses and wouldn't. He didn't build too many more after that one.
I'm just looking for a seal that will work with the sleeve provided by Ford that is currently installed. I did order the felpro seal but returned it when I realized I didn't have the tool.Now in my earlier post, I was only talking about a seal being made by Fel-pro and Victor Reinz. I don't know if they make a crankshaft sleeve or not. I didn't make that very clear. I do believe that there may be one or more aftermarket companies that make a sleeve by itself.
