New cover seal is in. New motor mount is under the engine. Not an easy job. Don’t want to do it again any time soon.

1) Repair sleeve is on the balancer. The install tool bottoms out when the flange is probably 1/8 inch from the balancer face. I guess that’s the way it’s supposed to be? It doesn’t seem to be a tear-away flange like some others I’ve used.

If it drove it on much further, it wouldn’t cover the groove anyway.

2) I don’t have time or the tools to drill/tap the crank. It’s going to get hammered on. Would it be a bad idea to heat it to make it slide on easier?
