I finally got around to replacing the timing belt on the 86 240 after about 60k since it broke the last time. I decided to replace the cranshaft seal this time and order a "Gates" timing belt, idler, and a "Gates" crankshaft seal(2 1/16" x 2 11/16" x 5/16"). The only problem was that the seal was slightly smaller in O.D. than the OEM seal and almost slid in with finger pressure. I reordered another seal, this time a Beck/Arnley product, for $3.00 more money and $6.00 less shipping from the same vendor, Rockauto.com. Perfest fit and no leaks!
