Slone --- If the scratch doesn't run the full length of where the seal lip w=
ould reside, you may be able to place a new seal deeper or shallower in the b=
ore where there's no scratch.=20
If Speedi-Sleeve comes in that bore diameter that's another option.=20
If the scratch is too long and not too deep, polishing it out with a cylinde=
r hone is another option.=20
OR you could chance it as is using a good sealer.=20
