Borrow a bore scope light as Gene suggested. I used one a Ford Mustang that kept fouling plugs. The cylinder head was full of carbon and so were the piston rings and they were stuck. On the Farmall A restored in 1975 I pulled the engine after soaking the pistons with ATF. I used a piece of 2 X 2 oak and a big hammer and drove out the pistons. Some of the sleeve's came out with the piston. A good torch freed them. Those sleeves are the wet type and are not pressed in. I installed a new sleeve kit from our local IH dealer and back then it cost $80.00.
