<VV> crank seal

[Mark Durham]

Peter, the only reason you would need the spacer is if the seal does
not fit on the shaft properly.  I just converted my early 62 to a 64
110 with the lm shaft and the seal still rode on the seal surface fine
so I did not use the spacer. I was told that with the later crank and
gear, the early case may place the seal off the back of the seal
surface or too near the back lip, however, mine was well over 3/32
from the back edge so I assembled the engine without the spacer. It
has 750 miles on it with no leaks.
I have a clarks spacer to sell for half price, if you need it. Mark Durham

There was no spacer but before I removed the bellhousing it looked like the seal was in the center area of crank sealing dia. I noticed on the flywheel there was some nicking at the rivits and yes the bottom two bolts did have washers on them. Dont see any problem with the flywheel, very slight scuffing. Do I have to come up with that spacer or can I just install the new seal from the engine side like the old one came out? According to the engine numbers its a 62 FC powerglide engine.
