Wanted to give an update on my progress. Pulled the head and cleaned the valves and guides (the guide in cylinder #2 intake valve was gummed-up causing the valve to stick). Looked it over and the head looks to be ok. Lapped the valves and cleaned the block. After looking at the head gasket I don't see any signs of it leaking to cause one of my issues (a very small amount of antifreeze in the oil). I don't remember hearing that a head gaskets causing antifreeze in the oil (only entering the combustion chamber). The cylinders sleeves look to be in really good shape so now do I pull the pistons and sleeves to replace the sleeve O-rings? This MF 50 has a Superior Loader and is really not so easy to work on and I don't have a sleeve puller or piston ring installer. Has anyone re-used their old sleeves if they are decent and is there anyone in the Southern Nevada area that I can use their sleeve puller & ring installer? If I have to purchase a sleeve puller I will but probably never use it again.
