alright, to make a long story short, i pu a new front timing cover seal in with assembly lube on the on the inner ring of the seal and just a little bead of gasket maker on the inside of the housing where the outer ring of the seal mates to, the crank pully has a redi-sleeve on it which seems to be fine, and the son of a bitch is still leaking. this is like the 3 try and i can't figure the shit out. prettty damn frustrating

yea they're a pain, i've been through 2. i just ended up tightening the timing cover as much as i could, and let it leak.
 
I would re-position the seal in a different place so that it doesn't ride over the old groove and use the thinner 7mm seal, see below:

Harmonic balancer repair sleeve/speedy sleeve (seal saver sleeve, balancer repair sleeve,crank seal saver) slides over shaft:

Felpro # 16214=$5
Future # 21-2514 (aluminum shaft sleeve included)
NAPA repair sleeve # 99177 (Mack PDC,National,Car Quest)
Pioneer repair sleeve (Silver Seal) # HB-4133

attached with some epoxy or use Loctite 609 or 242 or put some red RTV and fill that groove before you put it on also look in the yellow pages under
