Metal Spray vs Speedi Sleeve 

You have oil puddles on the driveway, and your friends make you park your vehicle up the street, not in front of their house and never on their driveway .. your car leaks oil.

Its like having a disease – But  this one it can be fixed

It is quite common for your rear main oil seal area to wear grooves in the seal area of the crankshaft or pulley. 80% of modern engines have a round oil seal  … earlier models have a 2 piece rope seals.
There are a number of ways you can fix this

1. Buy a new crankshaft (expensive repair.)

2. You may be able to move the seal to a different location in the housing, making sure you do not cut the seal area sliding it over the existing wear grooves.

3. Fit a speedi sleeve. this is a cheap repair cost, can be effective, once again make sure you do not cut the seal sliding over the speedi sleeve.

4. Metal spray the seal area with a harder compound to prevent the wear from occurring again  (a 10-year warranty on the metal spray) this is a common repair.

Preparing the seal area for metal spraying this can be done  on a Toyota, Nissan, Cummins, caterpillar and diesel engine or shaft
