How much torque will it take

Posted by John London, Tx on November 23, 2005 at 10:47:04 from (65.127.72.198):

Trying to get sleeves out of 43H that I had so much trouble getting the head off of a couple of weeks ago. Question today is how much torque can I put on the puller nut without damaging/ruining the top of the block. I've tried it heated as well as when cool and haven't budged the sleeve. Started with a 12" Crescent then used a 3/4" breaker bar and probably have 75 to 100# of torque on the puller now. Plan on letting it sit overnight and see if colder weather will help unless advised I can safely keep tightening the puller. Thanks!! BTW-Think the reason the head was such a problem is the stud between #2 & #3 cylinder had large rust pit just below the thread leaving the stud about 75% of original diameter.
