Some TC kits come with a sleeve to repair a severely worn or damaged balancer sprocket surface.
Allows the front seal to ride on a smooth surface rather than get chewed up by a rough balancer.
I don't think a Ford balancer ever lasted long enough to need one of these...

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
