Key Features

• OEM Standard item grade for factory-style repair fitment

Detailed Description

Mahle A233 is an engine harmonic balancer repair sleeve used to restore the sealing area where the crankshaft seal rides on the harmonic balancer. This sleeve helps address wear grooves and surface damage that can develop over time, supporting a cleaner sealing interface on vehicles such as the Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Pickup, Ford Tempo, Mercury Topaz, Toyota Celica, and Toyota Corona. This part cross-references FEL-PRO 16214 for the same application.

Built to OEM standard expectations, the Mahle A233 uses nickel plated formed steel and a 0.013 in wall thickness to maintain a consistent repair surface. It is a practical choice when the original balancer surface is worn but the rest of the assembly remains serviceable.

What It Helps Solve

• Crankshaft seal leakage caused by a worn harmonic balancer surface
• Grooving or scoring where the seal contacts the balancer
• Oil seepage after repeated seal replacement on the same engine
• Surface irregularities that prevent proper sealing on repair jobs
• Restoration needs on Toyota 4Runner and Toyota Pickup engine repairs

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the balancer sealing surface before installation and clean away oil, debris, and old seal material. Confirm the sleeve seats evenly and that the seal lip contacts the repaired surface correctly. Verify application details against the vehicle year, make, and model before installation, especially on 1975-1995 Toyota Pickup, 1984-1995 Toyota 4Runner, 1975-1983 Toyota Celica, 1975-1982 Toyota Corona, 1984-1994 Ford Tempo, and 1984-1994 Mercury Topaz applications.
