I replaced this sucker on my '90 Festiva a couple years ago but it's leaking like crazy again. The crank journal was a little rough the last time - I tried to clean it up with some emery cloth. It seems to me I read somewhere about a polished steel sleeve that goes on over the crank to give a nice new surface for the seal. Did I imagine that, or is such a thing really available? If so, where?

It's called a SPEEDY SLEEVE. Any NAPA store will have one for you. They have them for the cam also except for the '93. Don't know why, just not listed for '93.
