My FFA chapter is planning on restoring a 1938 unstyled WC. The engine in it is unfortunatly stuck. We soaked the cylinders with PB blaster, and diesel fuel, and tried to free the engine by pulling it down the road in 4th gear, but we didn't have any luck. The clutch just slipped. My question is, if we disassemble the engine, and if we could get the connecting rods disconnected, would we be able to pound the sleeve out of the block since it is a wet sleeve? Thanks for any advice on what to do guys/gals!!

My opinion is along the line of JMS's (hydraulic jack). I would pull the engine stuck or unstuck. It will be much easer to work on on an engine stand.

The rods and mains are probably shimmed. Keep the shims for each rod and main bolt in order - don't mix them up.

Pushing metal is better than pounding. Pushing can be controlled! What worked for me on a '37 was to leave the engine in the tractor, remove the oil pan and rod caps. Cut a short length of pipe that fits over a hydraulic jask head. On top of that weld a half circle of pipe that spans the crank journal and pushes against the bottom of the connecting rod. Some pistons may be accessed directly to the boss of the piston pin, with a straight shaft, depending on position of the crank. Another option is to pull the engine, remove the crank, and push all piston out the top of the block. While you are doing any of these- keep the engine parts socked with solvents. I've never used turpentine, but have heard from 'old' and others that it works. Worth giving it a try. When pushing pistons, be aware that the liner make break loose first, but you can bolt some thick flat stock across the top, using the head bolts, to hold the liner in place until the piuston is nearly out.

Well now that you have done that, put some turpentine in each cylinder and let that sit a few days. After it sits a few days try to pull it, if its going to brake free it will then. I done that on at least 10 engines and all of them have broke free
