Machining for a sand seal in case?

Hi Guys
This may sound like a silly question but can you 'cut in' a sand seal with the crank inplace and engine assembled?
After getting robbed $128 by UPS to deliver a feather weighted 180mm x 180mm box. It turns out that CE have sent me the wrong pulley. I ordered a pulley with a scroll however a beatifully machined sand seal pulley arrived...
I am trying to weight up my options and just wanted to know if the motor would need to be stripped down to machine the case for the seal.
Cheers
Tom

There is a tool bergs sell that can cut the seal hole with crank in place.
I am sure someone like Daimo Pell or Hellbug has one hidden somewhere.

Hi School,

I have a stock size CE pulley in green with scroll if you are interested. Brand new. I would be willing to swap you if you want. Just a thought.

Cheers, Keith

I am using Colins computer at the moment

Thanks for that Dave, good to know the tool is out there..

I would be very interested to hear from anyone with the tool that would be willing to help out... would be much appreciated!!

You want to be carefull as there's about 3 different sizes available, case and pulley need to be machined for seal in question

sure i have seen one hanging out here..........will have a scout around

I can help you out with a complete press in adapter with a seal installed if you want to go that way . The kits are priced @ $ 48 ea and you will get the adapter , and 2 x shimms that are approx 4 mm thick . The shims are for the crank pulley and the alt/gen pulley and will therefore space the pulleys and belt back , or away from the engine about 4 mm . I have been using these for years with good sucess , however you will have to check the size of your pulley and the seal as earlier explained , as there are several different sizes avaliable . I think from memory the seal will suit a 1.730" pulley . This is an easy installation process and can be performed whilst the engine is in the vehicle . The seals have been installed backwards because they are designed to keep the sand out , however they also keep the oil in , thanks ROD , 02-42729920 .

Thanks for your help guys, will research the seal etc before going ahead. Pulley measures 1.770"

Cheers for the offer Keith but I am keen to stay black.

Regards
Tom
