from personal experience, i would say dry sleeves are the harder ones to pull. there is more surface area of the sleeve in contact with the block, giving the sleeve more grip on it. many times with a wet sleeve, the cylinder head holds the top of the sleeve in on a wet sleeve, and removing the head and turning the motor over will walk the sleeves out. i dont know what motor you are working on, but if you recently did a major on it and its getting water in the crankcase, could be head gasket leaking, crack in the cylinder bore, dripping around the sleeve, could be just a head stud leaking. when i rebuild an i-h motor, before installing the head studs, like on an m, i apply a teflon based pipe joint compound or a permatex type thread sealer to the stud threads that go in to the block. what you can try to find the leak, if you have a pressurized cooling system, scoot over to the hardware store and get a schrader valve, it looks like a tire valve stem, but its threaded so you can screw it in to a fitting. remove one of the engine block drains and do a little adapting to get the valve to screw in the block. use a hand tire pump, with the radiatior cap on, pump some air in the cooling system to pressurize it, drop the oil pan and look for leaks. also, crank the engine over a few times with the spark plugs out and see if coolant comes out of the spark plug holes. once you locate the leak, then you can repair as necessary. good luck with it!!

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
