Doesn't sound good...I know you don't want to hear what you should have done but anyway....clean bores..clean sleeves..freeze sleeves...have a nice big hardwood block and sledge hammer ready...set sleeve in bore and whack it in...might take alot of force..but you have to do what it takes now or it will only get worse. Now that the situation is worse this is what i would try first:
- get a nice piece of 1/2" plate to cover top of sleeve(prevents wood block from splitting)
-mark sleeve with marker so you can actually tell if it is moving.
- place hardwood block on top of metal plate and hit block with sledge like you are putting in a fence post, nice long hard swing, hammerlike pounding does no good.

if no progress is being made, this is your last resort, a pain to set up but is guareenteed to work.
- get 5/8"plate and cut to fit over top of liner
- drill hole in center of plate to fit a 3/4" puller rod.
- Obtain or build an H-bar big enough for
bottom of engine block (2-5/8" x 1" bar on side with two small center cross bars added with a plate and hole for bottom of puller bolt)
- Use a real puller bolt, expensive, but maybe you can borrow one, ready rod is too soft and bents and breaks too easy.
-assemble your puller as straight as possible, making sure to use copper coat or at least grease on your puller bolt threads to prevent thread damage and make tightening the nuts easier.
-pull the liners in.
- slow and tedious, but it works, it is also the preferdmethod of liner installation for obvious reasons.

Let me know how it works out.
