Wildman Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Are we talking about a 4.0??? Me......I wouldn't use one of them, I would replace the timing cover gasket and seal. You still need to remove the harmonic balance, so your 3/4's into it, to replace the seal. It's one of them jobs, that $10 in parts take about 4 hours + to do :headpop: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64 Cheyenne Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Isn't the speedy sleeve used so that you can salvage a harmonic balancer that has a groove worn in it? Along with using a new seal, How much does a new HB cost VS a speedy sleeve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 A sleeve should only be used if there is a groove worn in the harmonic balancer. No groove, no sleeve. Replace the seal. The seal should be replaced worn groove or not. I have used them and they do work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avnsteve Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 HB is $45 at local parts store new (autozone) with warranty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 they are easy to install, basically you put the included install tool over the speedi sleeve and tap it on with a hammer. I use them at work but only when the part is expensive or difficult to find,they are about $20 each so its usually not much more to replace the part.
