Is the best way to sleeve an engine is to put the sleeves in the freezer for a few days then dropping them in the cylinders? F.y.i. the tractor is a 1957 ford model 640

do you think that line mechanics do all of this stuff in a shop.you can make a sleve installer out of two threaded rods and a bottle jack.

Consider using a halogen light or other heat source to warm the block while you are letting the sleeves cool for an hour or two. That's all that is necessary. It makes a difference.

Many times I have simply sprayed ether starting fluid into a sleeve before "poking" it in the bore. This cools em down quite a bit pretty fast. The biggest thing is to have the bore clean.

Make sure you have the bore clean.put the block in the sun to warm. You can put the sleeve in the freezer but son't let the ice come in direct contact with the sleeve as it could make it rust.
get you a soft piece of wood and a soft face rubber hammer. When you are ready get the sleeve out and place it in the block as fast as you can. They usually go all the way to seat with very much pressure. If it doesn't put the wood on top of the sleeve flat ways and press as hard as you can If it sticks tap lightly with rubber hammer on top of wood. Make sure you start it into the bore straight.
