View Full Version : Worn crank balancer will it seal?

My RRC v8 front main seal was leaking a lot so pulled it to put in a new seal

But there is a quite a worn lip on the shaft of the balancer - see below

Any suggestion short of a new one to ensure it seals?

Anyone got a good second hand one by any chance?

Speedi-sleeve from a bearing joint. Take it in and get them to measure, needs to be precise.

Also fill the groove before fitting the sleeve with an epoxy metallic after degreasing, should last for yonks using a stock size seal.
