timing cover repair sleeve tool? #824140 07/10/07 02:53 PM

hi guys,
I've got a leak behind my crank pulley after doing a top end rebuild. I put sealer on the bolt onder the timing marks upon reassembly and used a new o-ring and crank seal.

So,I pulled the crank pulley off and put a repair sleeve on the harmonic balancer, fel pro #16214, I also used a new o-ring and crank seal. It's leaking worse than before!

The sleeve did'nt cover all the scaring when it bottomed out, I just drove it on with a wooden block and mallet. I used the red loctite that came with the sleeve, do I need to let it dry for a while before I put it back together? Is the way it's supposed to go? Is there a sleeve that's longer somewhere?

I searched the arcives for any info about the tool for installing the repair sleeve, no dice.
I was thinking the tool was just a gimmick to lighten my wallet, here's a link web page

I thought this would be a simple fix.....any help?

P.S., I did a dual row timing chain conversion with the rebuild...

There is a deeper one out there as I just got done with my TC job and the old sleeve had a lip and seated flush with the hub side of the harmonic balancer. However, I could not find a deep one to put back on. I went with the standard one and all is good so far (day 1). If you find the deep one please let us know where you got it. I also found new HB on e-bay for about $70 as an alternative.

Thanks

Yeah, I may pick up a new HB if I can't get this leak worked out. Spent too much time cleaning my engine and engine bay to be messing it up.
I'm gonna try driving a new sleeve all the way down after cutting off the lip where it bottoms out and reinstall with new gaskets. I'll update if I find something that works....
