Default Cossie front crankshaft seal/crankshaft dimensions

I am just rebuilding my engine, but the crankshaft has been machined before for smaller dimeter fron crankshaft seal. I want it welded and machined back to nominal dimetion. Can someone plase post me inner diameter of front crankshaft seal or even better diameter of the crank in this place?

thanks a lot

it doesn't have a dizzy, but it's got the sensor there, and this also drives the oil pump

42-56-7 is the front crank seal, so 42 is the one you want.
Do NOT use ford ones, use VITON ones as these will not leak!!

A seal is a seal, just measure your crank and adjust number accordingly, ie if it has been ground down top 40 mm then get a 40-56-7, readily available at all good seal places!!
