Has this (harmonic balancer) already been sleeved?

[johnnolanstrtgld]

I'm working on a 1986 F350 6.9. I've got a front seal leak. I noticed that the seal in the kit I have is slightly smaller than the seal that came out of it. I'm curious is this is one of those sleeve kits, and if the seal with this is a different size. I'm not sure if I should re-sleeve (I see grooves), or if I should just run (tighter) stock seal with sleeve that's in it, or get a new sleeve kit. Please advise. Thanks.

Cut the sleeve off and replace with a new one. It will use the stock seal. Also that installing ring should have been removed after the sleeve was installed.

someone did a ****-poor job installing the sleeve.
the lip part is supposed to bottom out at the bottom of the snout. take the current sleeve off and clean the hell out of the snout. beat on the new sleeve's cat food can like you life depended on killing it dead.
good luck

I agree about the **** poor installation, but the sleeve is in the proper position, just needs a bit more work to remove the installation lip. The lip is meant to be cut with side cutters, then pulled off with vice grips and it should peal of while parting at the thin groove the near the lip. I would try it on the old sleeve before it is removed.

here's some pics of a properly installed sleeve.

Looks like someone had put too short of a sleeve on his @towcat

Thanks Towcat. I picked up the part you displayed 99250. Worked like a charm. Thanks again for your help on this. the old one looks like it was the wrong one that the PO tried to install anyway to get it to work. Feel much better about the new one and the installation.

betcha the price of the damn part left you breathless :O

35 bucks at orielly. Napa wanted 55 for a CR branded one. Figured National was fine and 20 bucks less. Cheaper than a new harmonic balancer.

sleeves are great , a thin film of #2 permatex on the sanded down balancer before driving it on is the insurance.
