Probably- - - -the lip seal can expand enough to accommodate a "speedy sleeve" which increases the diameter of the crank hub about .010", so the slight out of round caused by shims shouldn't be a problem. An accurate line bore job on a 216 or a shimmed 235 usually eliminates the need for shims anyway. Actually, it would be necessary to send the block and the crankshaft, and a set of main bearings. I'd ship it back with the crank assembled into the block with the lip seal in place. Fastenal ships palletized freight store-to-store at pretty reasonable rates. From the stories I've heard about people spending outrageous sums of money getting stovebolts rebuilt, the lip seal job would be a drop in the bucket.
