I struggle with it in all aspects of life, old iron included. I got all the parts needed for my NEW side mount motor including the new 040 sleeve.

It went in the freezer for about 4 hours while I cleaned the block up. Grabbed it quick and went to work with my puck and a 3 lb sledge. About an inch from the bottom it chipped on top. Ahhhhhh. One long sigh,some curses under my breath and I grabbed a flat screw driver and proceeded to chip it out.

Did a few more odds and ends today, ready for paint now. Ordered another sleeve that should be here Wednesday. Maybe this time my logic will outweigh my eagerness. That or an overnight soak in the new deepfreeze.

Keep on N'in and Happy Easter

Were you using sleeve installation tools?

Yep. Turned a puck at work. And chipped the sleeve not the block. Thirty bucks gone in about 10 minutes.
 
Sleeve full of dry ice would make it slide right in, I bet. Freezer
only gets it down to zero F dry ice will take it right on down
from there. (Wood block on the bottom to hold the dry ice ).
 
I just went through this on my 9N. Freezer wasn"t cold enough, dry ice didn"t shrink enough either. Hammering only worked for the first half. Finally I made an allthread puller and sucked all the sleeves down, including the stuck hammered one, without damage. The first sleeve (the hammered one) took a LOT of honing to fit, the other three took only a light hone.
