hardwood block and a big hammer. Keep pounding, they'll come.
I think those are the stock pistons, I've seen them in a lot of old engines
that didn't seem to have been rebuilt. Probably tractor technology.

Subject: [FOT] Sleeves

2 questions for the group:
1) After removing all 4 pistons from the block I cannot get the wet sleeves
out. Im trying not to damage them because I believe they might be original
1991cc sleeves that could possibly be honed out (see Joe Alexanders thread
a month or so ago). Ive sprayed them with penetrating fluid (Kroil) and Im
hitting them with a rubber mallet but no luck. Ive considered making a
press with some threaded rod and steel straps. Does anybody have a better
idea?
2) The pistons have the normal 3 rings at the top of the piston but in
addition there is a 4th ring that is located about > inch from the bottom of
the piston skirt. Was this an aftermarket piston or did the factory supply
them this way, (Ive never seen them this way)?
Regards
Mark
