MULTI-POSITION CRANKSHAFT LIP SEAL

Various systems and methods are provided for utilizing a crankshaft lip seal (204) over the course of a first overhaul life and a second overhaul life. In one example, a method includes installing the crankshaft lip seal between a flywheel housing (184) and a crankshaft (180) of an engine (104) and operating the engine with the crankshaft lip seal. The method further includes removing the crankshaft lip seal, re-machining a floating seal sleeve (408) coupled to the crankshaft or the flywheel housing, and replacing a lip. The crankshaft lip seal is then re-installed between the flywheel housing and the crankshaft and the engine operated with the re-installed crankshaft lip seal.
