I pushed 3 sleeves out with the piston when I was unsticking it.I've read most of the old posts about installing.I am going to put them in the freezer overnight after sanding off the crud on the outside, and lightly sand out the block .I am scared of getting them stuck part way and wondering if it is better to pull them down rather than pound them down?If you use a threaded rod with plate on top , and bar across bottom of block, is that safe? If the crank is 1/2 way on the stroke, will it let you pull staight?What other ideas?I already had to buy one sleeve, cause I broke it getting the piston out.

Only take one sleeve out of the freezer and install it. I wouldn't pound on them with a hammer. I think they will fit ok by freezing them. Wear gloves too. Hal
PS: What's the condition of these sleeves? Any pits from rust?

I believe that pulling them down takes so much time that they will be the same temp as the block by mid insertion. I would make sure my block was warm. A magnetic block heater can do wonders, especially when the shop is also warm. (I don't think I'd do it in the cold). The sleeves will go in no problem if they came out with the pistons. a clean metal surface is important on both sleeve and casting for heat transfer, however do not polish them smaller.

A nice hard wood block, cross grain not end grain, and a 2# hammer will do easily. in many cases with thermal prep as noted, they slip in with out any assistance.

Go for it, JimN
