Steve---Sometimes there is another option to adding a speedi-sleeve. What we
are buying with such a device is a fresh area which can ride on a seal. Most
grooves are as narrow as the lip of the seal that caused it. With the rear
seal, one can move it forward or rearward enough in it's housing to pick up a
"new" area on the crankshaft. Worth a look-see?
More thoughts...Be sure the engine is able to exhaust any crankcase pressure,
so oil is not forced out at the seal areas.

Subject: [6pack] speedi-sleeve
Hey Guys....I've got a question for the more experienced minds. My 1974 1/2
TR6 needs a rear crankshaft seal for the second time in recent years and I
want to get it right this time. Can anybody give me the proper size
speedi-sleeve number for it? I can easily get it locally with the proper
size/number. And tho I still have a new seal, is there one suppliers or
manufacturers better than the others? The engine was completely rebuilt 5
years/12,000 miles ago so I don't think anything else comes into it. Any
thoughts?
Thanks,
Steve
