doghows,
Thanks for the input, my thought was the shaft is suposed to be smooth.

Also, it's hard to tell from the photo but that looks like a pretty good size groove. If you use the Speedi-Sleeve, fill the groove with JB Weld and install the sleeve before it dries. This will swipe off excess JB and give the sleeve some support from underneath where the groove is (was).
If I recall correctly they run about $35 or so.

Yeah, that's not the groove I thought you were talking about.
You really should look and see where the new seal rides. Seals are not all created equal and the seal that made that groove may not have the seal contact point in exactly the same spot as the new seal.
Take a small scale and measure the depth from the stop/ledge on the crank to the highest spot on the new seal, then measure the back edge of the sleeve on the balancer to the groove. If they're in different spots, don't fret about it. Also, the picture was not very clear so it's not clear how deep that groove is. Seals do have a fairly significant collapse to them, and it's very possible it will never leak. And if it does you still have the option of pulling it again and pressing the sleeve over it.

Hello to everyone,
I been working nearly sun up to sun down the last few days. Made a sandblasting boath between the house and the shop with a big tarp. Worked up untill the weather got bad. I got most of what I wanted to do done but I still have a little more to blast next weekend. I made a paint boath with some plastic and exhuasted the fumes with a fan out of the window. Check the pics.
Still busy making a home of that 50 year old 170!

Very nice! An inspired effort!
If it's running, take it apart and see why.
Hello all
Finally got the sandblasting finished and got the frontend in primer.
Guy
It's good to see Roger getting some more competition, nice work
