guys: here is a pic the block number and of the pistons, from what you guys said looks like they should be the slip fit sleeves like in the early models. pistons 4,5 and 6 when I removed the pistons the sleeves came up with them, pistons 1,2 and 3 the sleeves stay in the block so I am making a puller to get them out and making a.001 uncut pilot to fit in the sleeve to guide when pulling. as I got in to this and info you guys gave me I am wondering if this is what happened. everything I taken apart has IH on it yet even the rod bearings but the head gasket says fel-pro and when I took the head bolts lose the did not seem torqued down like they should be, I have not looked that up yet but assume they should be around the 90 footlbs range. I have all the tools to do a bore check and depth mic etc with no problem, I have found shims under 2 of the lips of the sleeves and one of them was broke it was around .003 think.
I won't get to do much until Thursday as we have other thing going on this week. if you see something else let me know and thanks for your help.
