Should I buy a sleeve that covers the whole outer crank shaft part that has the grooves worn into it or just a long enough piece to cover the wear marks? |

Re: 1937 crank pulley seal?
I'd really like to find one of those pulleys that isn't bent!

Re: 1937 crank pulley seal?
What really matters is that your sleeve covers the part of the pulley that the new one-piece seal rides on. The rest of the pulley snout doesn't matter unless some of the better minds here may feel differently.

Re: 1937 crank pulley seal?
I have some that aren't bent and have no groove on the seal surface, but we are half a world apart

I now prefer to use the rope seals that Best Gasket Company supplies in their engine rebuild gasket sets.

The tyranny of distance John... I have a box of at least 6 and when they balanced my engine there was a double row one that was half decent and when I went try it was for the larger crank ..doh!

Re: 1937 crank pulley seal?
Okay a little update. Went to Napa to try and find the speedy sleeve but no luck. The “groove” in the crank pulley seems to be more just a paint wear mark vs an actual groove and they said it should be fine. They couldn’t find any sleeves in their books that matched my OD so I’m still searching to find a sleeve that will fit.
I finally removed everything from the front to gain accesss. I definatly only want to do this once so my question is with original crank pulleys being hard to find and the seal I have being modern should I grease the crank pulley shaft so the modern rubber seal doesn’t wear due to friction? It seems to be a good fit but I would assume at high rpms the inner part of the seal would heat up and start to come apart. Last edited by Solo_909; 12-17-2017 at 12:21 PM. |

Re: 1937 crank pulley seal?
Looks like the pan and the front cover have a different size opening.

Re: 1937 crank pulley seal?
I thought of that too, but he said the crank appears to be tilted down. I'm sure he looked at it straight on.

Re: 1937 crank pulley seal?
I guess it was just a weird angle.

Re: 1937 crank pulley seal?
Okay so someone please tell me that I can slide an original rope seal in the valley without have to remove the whole under carriage to remove the oil pan?

Re: 1937 crank pulley seal?
I'd pull the engine before I removed the front end. It's not a difficult job and it looks like you already have a lot of the front end sheet metal and radiator out. Probably just 1 hour to remove engine at this point.

Re: 1937 crank pulley seal?
The problem is I don’t have a cherry picker so I have to go the other route.

Re: 1937 crank pulley seal?
You can probably rent an engine hoist from a local NAPA or similar auto parts store. Or maybe even a fordbarner near you would be willing to help with this. Just some ideas.

Re: 1937 crank pulley seal?
When I pulled the engine on my 34 roadster I didn't have a cherry picker but the big truck repair shop up the road had one. A case of bud light & they even loaded it into the bed of my pickup. They said to take as long as I wanted as they hardly used it anymore, they liked the forklift better.

Re: 1937 crank pulley seal?
You don't need a cherry picker. You can jack up the engine front, block it up under the water pumps and the pan can be dropped. The crankshaft has to be rotated to get the counterweight out of the way. I have done it several times. You then can remove the front cover, and properly replace both seal halves.
