Can you get these to fit a 302 engine?
If so from where?
(read my other post to see why I might need it)

SKF on your side also makes them. Any good auto parts store has them here, but in the land of 4 cylinders , idun know.

I attached a pic of a "ready sleeve". The sleeve will repair a grooved crank spacer. The pic shows a sleeve installed and a another sleeve not installed so you can see what they look like before installation.

Thanks for the pic! NOW I get it. Hey, that would be just the ticket for one of them 427 reverse rotation boat engines. You know, the grooves in the back of the crankshaft are facing the wrong direction.

Not sure why a guy would need one for a 302 unless the crank seal area is pretty damaged.

By the way, pics work better at 640X480 size!
