<div> <font size="3">This is a TR4, right? Pretty much the same on TR6. The seal rides on the spacer. New spacers are much less money than a Speedi-Sleeve. I put a new spacer on my TR6 when I replaced the timing chain and it almost doesn't leak. I think the finish on the spacer is not as smooth as a </font><font size="3">Speedi-Sleeve so the seal doesn't seal up quite as tight. <br>
</font></div>

</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Also consider that there is a path for oil to slip through between the spacer and the crankshaft itself. A little Hylomar might help.</font></div>
