anyone?
 

anyone?

The sleeves are usually pressed in by a machine shop.

factory manual
 

in the factory manual there is a tool you can make to remove the sleeve ... anyone done it that way or have a photo of the tool?

I was just going to send you that manual section, do you have a copy?

Have you checked
 

Omar, have you used the search function in the dark blue line above. I am not sure that I saw a picture, but I think there are a couple of descriptions of how a DIY can do it. Just type in "remove cylinder liner"

I have searched untill I am blue there was an old tread that had photo's however the photo's are not there anymore:mad: so yes if anyone has a copy of they can send me please thank you Omar

Tool.

got one you can borrow for a while. works great.

Rick, what's your experience with knocking sleeves in and out with your tool?
I'm still debating about trying it.

thank you
 

thank you for the photo and yes I would like to borrow your cylinder liner removal tool Rick e me or pm me let me know thank you again Omar
did you press the sleeves out or use a hammer?????

I took a sleeve out of a 616 that needs rebuilt tonight and man o man are those things in there I made a tool out of 1/4 inch steel and that didnt last long bent up like a piece of paper. I ended up grinding all the way down the thing hitting it with the tool (after some repair to it) and it came right out I have 3 more to go so anyone have any ideas to make it easier

So much for my idea to try to salvage one from a bad block and transplant it to a good block that just has one bad sleeve.

Why not have your machine shop remove it? The sleeve can be bored until it's quite thin then slit with a cape chisel

That's just how one machine shop said they will do it. I wanted to resleeve one of my 617 blocks and they quoted me between $350 and $400 to do it. I also have to supply them the sleeves.
After it's resleeved I'm sure they still have to rebore them to have the pistons fit as the pistons will probably not fit right with the sleeves installed as they are. So I could imagine there's an extra charge for the extra boring to fit the pistons.
