Claim 13:
14. The method of claim 13, wherein determining the eccentricity further comprises:
coupling a ring to the seal housing, the ring comprising an annular pocket;
providing a surface replicating compound within the annular pocket;
impinging the rotating component on the surface replicating compound, such that an indentation profile is formed on the surface replicating compound;
measuring a radial distance between an outer diameter of the ring and a radially outboard edge of the indentation profile at a plurality of circumferential positions; and
determining the eccentricity between the seal housing bore and the component outer diameter based on the radial distance measured at the plurality of circumferential positions.
