I would recommend measuring the O.D. on the crank (OEM=1.311"/aftermarket=1.307" nominal) and the I.D. on that sleeve! Sleeve should be 1.3115"? You don't want it too loose? it should slide on the OEM shaft "snugly", slightly lesser on the aftermarkets.
Important: No matter what shaft you're using it's good practice to put some sealer between those sleeves and the crank snouts, it stops any oil from "seeping" between both pieces and getting to the damper/bolt. We use "The Right Stuff" there also!
Thanks, Gary in N.Y.
P.S. When we assemble our units here we do use a "thin" coating of "The Right Stuff" on the entire circumference of the seal, so far we haven't a single leak ever!

Hate to hi-Jack the thread but I saw this and have worried about ever since I built my engine. I didn’t seal the shaft for the sleeve. Any thoughts Gofast on that, pull the pulley and try to seal at the end before reinstalling the pulley?
