Speedi-Sleeve Crankshaft Belt Pulley


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

This pulley is from my 1953 25” 226 engine. (Building a 237 ci) I hope to utilize a speedi-sleeve. Wondering if anyone has the sleeve part number that fits for this application?
 

I measure about 2.1874 ish. 

Thanks.

I don't know this for a fact,but I would almost be willing to bet money your local NAPA store has a parts number for you.

 

I have bought and used several of them over the years,and they all came from NAPA.

 

I guess if all else fails you could have a machine shop weld it up,grind it down,and case harden it,but I would check every source possible before I spent that  much money.

The machinist I used when needing work done was old school. He did not like speedi-sleeves as he said they were too thin and could wear quickly and destroy seals. He took my crankshaft pulley, machined it down, and added a much thicker sleeve. Reasonably priced too. Old timer machinists are a disappearing breed.

Speaking of crank pulleys. 
2 large felt washers came in my engine rebuild gasket kit.  I am wondering where they go?
 

Behind front pulley maybe? A guess. I Don’t recall removing an old one when I pulled the pulley. Thx.

Right behind the pulley in the cup with a couple "Pointed tangs" to prevent it from spinning in that pulley cup.

Just a 1953 and later dust/dirt seal.

I think the speedi-sleeve install was a success. I removed the flanged lip on one end of the sleeve. I didn’t like how it would have set in the base of the pulley. There is lip machined in the pulley base. 
 

@Sniper ‘s part number seemed perfect. As recommended by a friend, I did heat the speedi-sleeve up to about 350C in my oven. Momma was raising her eyebrows but said nothing. I put the pulley in the freezer for about an hour.
All went together pretty easily.  I did struggle a little bit to get the flange off the speedi-sleeve. But I got it.
