Thanks Charlie. I'll bring it all to the crank specialist, including the seal, and see what he thinks will be the best approach. This seems like the least(lol, edit) intrusive option so, if the sleeve becomes unnecessary, that would be great!

Thread bump and realignment - I got my v7 Sport cylinders back from Millenium today. They look fantastic. Who says beauty isn’t on the inside? I like the idea of keeping the original cylinders. It was just over $600.00 with shipping, so still less than a pair of Gilardonis.

So sorry for the lack of posts! There's been progress, although not nearly as much as there should have been.
I was concerned about the crankshaft where the seal rides... there was some pitting and a history of leaks, so after some research and deliberation I had it cleaned up. Ended up only needing about a thousandth off, so didn't need any sleeve.
I have two SKF Speedi-Sleeves if anyone needs them.
Also turned out the crank at the front main and at the rods needed to be takin down to 1st under. So got all that done, and back and installed.

Oil pump, etc installed. Gears on but not mounted. Unfortunately my cam gear does not have the two painted teeth... only one tiny spotch or paint on one tooth. I lined it up exactly as it was, and then turned it to match an image from Charlie and the one tooth does end up where one of the painted teeth should be. So likely it's ok but will check once the head and valves are on to be absolutely sure.
