Any last minute advice before I pull the sleeves out of my 340's block?
I am on the way to pickup some threaded rod, 3/4".
I've machined up a puck which pilots into the bottom of the cylinder bore, this is 1/2" thick and is not larger than the sleeve's OD so it wont drag/bind if I am still pulling by the time the puck gets to the inside of the cylinder case.
I have a 1/2" wall-thickness ring that clears the flange on the top of the sleeve and a heavy 3/4" thick bar which spans across the ring. The ring is 2" tall...so theoretically I can pull upwards for 2" before my puller goes solid.
I plan to use 80W90 to lube the hex nuts and threaded rods doing the heavy work.
Any last minute pointers or advice? Thanks
