What's the odds....
Does anyone know the odds of needing the sleeve/bushings when doing a front reseal job? I can save around 60 some bucks by just putting seals in it. I hate to pull it apart enough just to check, put it back together to drive, and then pull it apart again to fix. Is this a pretty common problem?

At least the sleeves are replaceable...
I just did this last weekend. I ordered the front re-seal kit with the cam and balance shaft sleeves. I had no idea when/if they were changed before. It has ~125K miles on it (broken odo worm pinion gear). The b/s sleeves were fairly worn but the crank sleeve was toast. I should have ordered the crank sleeve at the same time. I haven't taken the cam tower apart yet, but I have a new sleeve ready already.
NOTE: The crank seal that came out was 38 x 52 x 7mm. The new seal is 38 x 52.2 x 7mm. There must've been a TSB about the change that I missed...Anybody know anything about it?

mine had the 38x52x7 part as well. I didn't check what the exact size of the one Pelican sent, but it hasn't leaked yet, so I'm not too worried.
