Thanks for comments. I had to machine a disc (as you guys mention) on my lathe and use the middle stud from a coil spring compressor to pull the other three sleeves. I then plugged the block heater in and put the sleeves in a freezer for a while. Then coated with diesel fuel and they went in with not too much tapping. The connecting rod on #1 cyl was bent and when I pulled out (after discovering something was wrong) the sleeve came out too (that cyl was the one that had problems, I had to smooth out block wall a little with sand paper). Obtained reconditioned rod and put back together, however sleeve fit was probably looser than should be, but so far no problems. I didn't have pressure gage to determine force to install sleeves. Sounds as though the dry sleeve engines rack up a lot of hours just as the wet sleeve engines. D188 runs strong.
