Farmergirl...........yep, -100F dry-ice chips (yellow pages) really works. $10 (cheap)

I recommend making a "spool" outta 2-round pieces of jig-sawed wood that fit inside yer cylinder sleeve and 12" of 1/2" ready-thready rodd and 4-nuts. Stuff the cavity formed by the sleeve and the spool with dry-ice chips. By having the COLD inside the sleeve, the block doesn't gitta chance to expand the sleeve until your sleeve is "home" in the engine block where you want it. Then just "un-thread" the wood end and capture yer dry-ice chips for your next sleeve. Simple, eh?

Oh yeah, wear gloves..........Dell, the frost-bitt
