This is a victor reinz branded tool. They are a division of Dana. This is compatible to the FelPro 16300 installation tool. If you are looking for the FelPro brand and cannot find one, this tool will do the same job of helping you install a crankshaft repair sleeve. We carry the sleeves and also have another listing with both items included if needed. We have left the details below from our FelPro listing for information purposes. If you have any questions just message me.
Hard to find, installation tool. Brand new. New packaging.
See tool dimensions listed below. We use this on Ford 5.0 but has many fitments.
We carry the sleeve separately and also have another listing that includes a tool and actual sleeve (2pc kit, one shipping) that frequently sells out.
Question, what is this tool and why do I need it?
After many years and miles the rear main seal can wear a small groove into the end of the crankshaft. You may see a rear oil leak and seems the rear seal is leaking. You replace the seal and then in a short amount of time the new seal may start to leak. By installing a crankshaft repair sleeve, it will put a new surface at the exact location that the rear main seal touches the crankshaft surface. This new repair sleeve is normally made out of nickel plated steel or some are stainless. It is much harder than the crankshaft surface and normally can last for hundreds of thousands of miles of use! We also carry the sleeves in another listing and even may have a 2pc kit including the tool and the sleeve. This tool makes installing this repair sleeve a quick and safe operation.
Be aware that you also will need a new replacement rear main seal. There are many on the market to choose from. Some people swear by only using an actual OEM Ford part and others will recommend only certain Fel-Pro seals. There are also many others in the market. We would rather allow the end-user, owner, shop decide and choose the seal that they are most comfortable with. Be aware that incorrect seal installation can also lead to rear main seal leaks so it is a great idea to find some online videos going over the correct process before starting this project.
Also, another added benefit of this type of sleeve tool is that you can do this while the engine is still in the vehicle! You will however need to remove the transmission.
Details:
This
tool has many fitments. Please do your research before purchasing.We
use it for the Ford 5.0 V8 but additional fitments includes Ford V6, V8,
Chrysler 4 cylinder, Dodge 4 cylinder engines. See the list and years
covered below.
This
is the tool that is used to install the thin metal repair sleeve to fix
oil leaks from the rear main oil seal where it contacts the crankshaft.
If your engine is leaking oil at the rear between the engine and
transmission, it may very well be from wear on the crankshaft where the
rear main oil seal makes contact. Just replacing the rear main seal is
usually only going to be a short term fix and may start to quickly leak
oil again.
Using
this tool along with the appropriate sleeve can be a permanent fix for
the problem. It also can usually be done while the engine is still in
the vehicle. You just need to remove the transmission. There are many
videos online showing the proper procedure. We may also have some of the
correct Fel-Pro branded sleeves that fit the 5.0 V8 engine (1983-2004 models)
in another listing.
I
posted an actual photo showing the new packaging. Brand new tool and
nice packaging. Sometimes the box may show small shelf wear but nothing
serious. Contact me with questions. Happy to help. We use this tool with
the Fel-Pro 16250 sleeve (AM331) when servicing 5.0 V8 engine - we may
still have some available in another of our listings.
Contact me if you want both as I can setup a combination tool and sleeve listing for you.
Shipping information:
I will ship USPS Priority, well protected to get to you safe and secure. Other options available including Fedex and UPS. Normally we may substitute Fedex for UPS or UPS for Fedex depending on your location. Some rural locations are just not cost effective for one or the other and we will not find out until after the transaction. Normally we will contact you to confirm this. You can check with me if you have some special needs ahead of time. Thanks for your understanding and patience during the trying times regarding deliveries.

Replacing the Engine Main
Bearing Rear Main Seal? You should consider installing a repair sleeve at the same time. This will require using a Repair Sleeve Tool to facilitate the install and make things much easier. This tool will work with the FelPro 16250 repair sleeve and others that are a compatible interchange to that sleeve. There are a few designs of sleeves so make sure you are getting the correct tool for the type of sleeve you intend to use. The 16250 sleeve generally can be installed while the engine is still inside the engine bay. Of course it still requires pulling the transmission. If you are doing a clutch job it is a great time to consider taking care of the rear main seal oil leak at the same time.
