They are a cylinder, with one edge rolled into a lip so you can drive the
cylinder over the surface to be sealed. They are a snug enough fit that at
least in theory no sealant is required, although I added a little Loctite to
mine just to be sure. On the one I used for my TR3A front crank seal, there
was also a parting line so you could break the lip away after installation,
if necessary.
"Speedi-sleeve" is a brand name, more info at
