I have the engine disassembled and when looking at the parts of my gasket kit, they gave me a lip seal but I need the felt one. My dealer has since closed and haven't called Welters yet, but can I guy use a speedisleeve and then use a lip seal instead of the felt. Had my local bearing/seal store try and cross the lip seal to another seal and sleeve, but the seal uses a Victor gasket number instead of a CR or National. So no luck. I'm just curious about this and have no problem using the felt. Do you get just the felt and install it in the retainer or do you get a new assembly. If I remember right the parts guy asked me which one I needed but didn't know at the time. I did trim one of the dowels like JK2 suggested to remove the rear main housing, but still took the right spot to get it off of the crank. thanks chris
