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
