I solved this issue by having a tool machined which is a tube the
o/d of the opening, bored to slide over the crankshaft and with a
keyway to allow for the pulley key. After the pan and timing cover
(with seal installed) are fitted to the engine but not fully
tightened, the tool is slid along the nose of the crank until it
touches the seal. At this point, the cover and pan will be forced
to be concentric with the crank nose and to fit evenly around the
seal. Then the pan and cover bolts are tightened, the tool
removed, and the pulley lubed and installed on the crank.<br>

group, A fellow contacted me on his issue with the front crank
seal not locating properly due to the front cover to sump
misalignment .
<div>He is interested in finding someone who has made a cutting
tool to cut the housings for a press fit a seal with the sump
and cover installed. I remember that 1 or 2 people have made
this tool, Does any one have one to loan him?</div>
