Hi, I am still assembling the truck 292 to put in my T-Bird.  The crank damper I have is in the condition shown in the photo.  It appears that there is room in the front cover to place the seal further out towards the front of the engine to make it ride in a new place on the damper snout.  Is that worth trying?  Or is a .017" grove not bad enough to worry about?  I haven't tried looking for a repair sleeve yet. 

And one other thing - the T-bird damper is much tighter on the crank than the truck one that I removed.  How much interference is needed on these?  I haven't measured them, but man that damper was hard to get off of the 312 it was on!
Thanks!
