Well, wet sleeves are installed in a block with O-rings to keep the coolant out of the crankcse. They are generally esier to remove, but you have to be careful installing new ones, and get things real clean to keeep the o-rings from leaking. Dry sleeves can be a bugger to remove, as they are thin sleeves that fit in the bore in athe block, and usually fit very tight to allow good heat transfer.You don't ve the coolant leakage problems as with dry sleeves. At the Mack deal;er I oncce worked at, they would immerse the dry sleeves in a tub with solvent and dry ice to cool them down and shrink them a bit so they would go in easier. Hopethis helps a bit.
