[Mg-t] [mg-tabc] Moss Speedi-Sleeve and XPAG oil seal kit

[John Seim]

Speedi-Sleeve went on crankshaft OK.
When flywheel installed, it was pressing the sleeve off.
I believe that the flywheel to crankshaft opening needs to be enlarged, 
to
accept the sleeve thickness.
Make sure that the cork gasket fully sits in the groove on the rear 
main cap.
