When I pull it apart to replace the seal,if the balancer is damaged where the seal rides can a repair sleave be used on this balancer? of course the local parts people look at me like I'm from outer space when I say 1959 chevy 261 engine. Anyone know a part number?

He did say it was the same as a small block.
Thanks for the help.
