Thanks Hal. Just finished making the sleeve puller - two flat
discs with a hole in the center, threaded rod, and a standoffs for
the top. Will try it out tomorrow but have to mow and go to a
couple of ball games this afternoon. I was really suprised how
tight the sleeves are. Blocked the engine upside-down, with
crank and camshaft removed, laid a 2" thick piece of white oak
on top of the sleeve, and used a 2" steel rod on the white oak
with a 3 lb hammer. The end of the sleeve cut through the
crossgrain of the oak 1/2" deep and it didn"t budge. Tried all
four of them with the same result. I"m thinking something got
screwed up when the overbore kit was put in. The bottom edge
of the sleeve is almost a knife edge. That"s why I was wondering
about the sleeve wall thickness with the oversize piston.
Perhaps I"m about to have my first "moment" with this rebuild...
