we pulled the pistons out of a 10-20 about a month ago and had to change one sleeve. it had bent a rod years ago and scored the number one piston also. it was stuck, but the pistons all came out with a sledge and block of wood. we honed out the cylinders, cleaned the pistons and went to putting it back together. it was cold in the shop and THE PISTONS WOULD NOT GO BACK IN! we assumed that the block was too cold. last night the temperature was a lot better and a space heater had warmed up the block.

THESE CAME OUT OF THOSE SLEEVES A MONTH AGO! looks like it siezed up running years ago becauseof piston clearance. seems the sleeves shrunk while we had the pistons out. HUH? antbody ever experience this?
