This crank pulley/balancer look right??

![Question](https://landroverforums.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
After getting everything taken apart, it is clear that the Crankshaft pulley was the reason for the major oil leak.. I cleaned this thing off, but it looks wierd.. Are there supposed to by ridges on the shaft like this?? I was expecting the thing to be completely smooth... Down below the line on there, is kind of ridgy! not smooth as I expected it to be...
Ill get the rest of the oil and stuff cleaned up, but I don't want to put it all back together if this thing is not right..
Thanks for the help as always!

You are correct the harmonic balancer shaft should be smooth or the crankshaft seal will not seat. You will need to either replace the H Balancer or use a Speedi-Sleeve. The Speedi Sleeve from SKF is #99192. And get a CORTECO Crankshaft seal # ERR6490G.
Don't try to sand/ mill off the grooves in your balancer!!! If you do just toss the balancer in the garbage.

IMHO there are two issues on an HB, one is the grooves formed by the oil seal and the second is the condition of the laminating rubber holding the two halves together. If the rubber is OK you can spin the pulley in a lathe and polish the area with fine emery paper/cloth and, as Abran says, set the oil seal deeper, further in so the lip of the seal doesn't run on the same groove or near it or failing that junk the pulley for a new one.
