JFP, Out of round (ovality) is easily measured with machinist tools. reboring of the seal area can be done with the crankshaft in place ( i can because i have the right tooling AND experience).
The way to correct seal alignment would be to set the machine true to the crankshaft OD.
Bore the oil seal bore 1.5 mm larger which is .060" (60 thou) and make a sleeve/ring to be pressed in position. The sleeve would be .030" wall which is thick enough to support a seal and also loctite it in place. Put a new oil seal in and you're done. Real easy for me to do.
I want people to realize that i would have no problem applying any of these procedures to my own car.
