As far as installing, I agree with the others that the top of the sleeve must be milled even with the block, and honed to fit the piston, at least on Mercedes diesels of this vintage. Other brands of engines are not the same and the sleeves can sometimes be pressed in without further machining, especially wet sleeves. Usually if the sleeve needs replaced, the engine is due for a complete rebuild anyway.

This idea, works wonders run a bead along the center of the cylinder and it will contracts and makes the diameter smaller just by a fraction, but thats all you need to pull it out.
