I just rebuilt a 450 and the instructions said slip fit, that they should go in 3/4 of the way by hand then tap them the rest of the way with a block of wood and mallet, I did a 350 about 5 years ago and they went in with a press fit and that really messed up the bores, the sleeves formed to the shape of the block bores, the maching shop miked the block bores (no sleeves) they were not even close to straight! the 450 I did before I installed the sleeves you could feel waves in the block bores, my 300 I did sleeves were soo tight I took the block to the machine shop to fit the sleeves, if they would of been pressed in you would of never got the pistons in! I also did a H 2 sleeves went 3/4 of the way in and two just about fell in had to use sleeve retainer on the two, I talked to a couple machine shops and they said slip fit 3/4 of the way, sleeves are too thin to press in,
