I'm wondering if anyone knows if there are differences in the head gaskets between the flathead and domed pistons on the WD. Also trying to figure out the best way to get the sleeves out - I've got antifreeze getting in the oil from the water jacket- I guess the liner o-rings are bad. Thanks for any help.

Use a sleeve puller. The pounding methods offer too many opportunties for accidents - particularily with your body parts. I made one out of two round aluminum pieces and a 3/4" threaded rod. I've used it on two WD engines and and a Case 800. It it is safe and sure. Napa may have one to rent. Make one or rent one.

If the engine is still together suggest you try a block sealer made by BARs. It will seal cracked blocks, leaking head gaskets, etc. It will/should seal up the o rings. It's compatable with antifreeze.

Sleeve puller, you might try NAPA, they have tools to loan. Also try some of the rental shops. One of the local tractor repair shops might loan you a puller or perhaps the mechanic will come out and pull the sleeves for you for a few bucks.

Take a look at a sleeve puller. If none of the above work, make one.

If you heat the sleeves with a torch and let them cool they will come out a lot easer. I was replacing the sleeves and was not concerned what the heat was doing to them. Also don't hit on them to hard and crack the block.

use a 2x2 of oak or some other hardwood, from the crankcase pound the sleeves up and out.might have to use a (bfh) big hammer also. try a napa or implament dealer for the head gaskets.
