Just thought I would pass along a trick I came up with to removing wet sleeves from a block (and replacing the sleeves with new ones). I don't think I had mentioned it while restoring my Case SC, but it worked for me. Instead of buying a 4-600$ sleeve puller, here is what I did: 1) Took the engine block and mounted it to a engine stand. Flipped it upside down. 2) Took a cheap bottle jack (I say cheap because I ruined the $19.95 jack I used) jack it up all the way (or enough to get it to stick out of the block with the base of the jack on the bottom of the cylinder. 3) Grab a hammer and start whackin the jack (using the bottle jack as the base to drive them out of the block). I had all of the cylinders out of the black in about a half hour, and I only had to spend $19.95 to replace my bottle jack.
Just a little trick if you are restoring on a budget and can't afford to buy an expensive tool.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
