Ford did not use sleeved engines after the "Thousand" series tractors started in 1965.However i have worked on blocks that had thin sleeves installed.Most of these were installed by Ford after the engines were replaced under warranty because of water mixing with engine oil.Those engines had "sand holes" in the cylinder walls caused when the block was cast.The dealers sent the short blocks back to Ford and they bored and sleeved the blocks.They were then "rebuilt" and sent back out in new tractors with another full warranty.I have seen 3,4 and 6 cylinder engines sleeved from the factory like this.Sleeves are listed in parts books for these engines.These engines were stamped with new #'s to denote sleeves installed.The thin sleeves can be safely removed by starting at the top of the cylinder and using a small sharp chisel to peel the sleeve away from the cylinder wall.Once you have it started then take a medium sized flat screwdriver and finish peeling it out.A very easy job.Clean the cylinder walls up and freeze the new sleeves in "DRY ICE" before installing them.
