I'm in the middle of a complete engine overhaul on my '52 Farmall H, I put in all new sleeves and pistons and everything was working fine until I turned the crankshaft around to put on the last two connecting rod caps, and the #3 sleeve pushed up about halfway out of the block. I can push the sleeve back down in easily enough, but if I turn the crank around again the sleeve comes right back out. I've been told before that painting the outside of the sleeve with aluminum paint and sliding the sleeve back in and letting it sit over night will seal the sleeve up good,and keep it from sliding out again, but I wanted to make sure before I painted one of my sleeves that this was a good idea.
If this is a bad idea then I'd like other suggestions about how to keep the stubborn sleeve down in the block.
