First off, I'd like to say hello and glad to be part of the YT forums and thx you for your advice and time.
I'm in the beginning stages of a total M restore....I have gotten the engine tore completely down and gonna do a complete overhaul. Problem is, previous owners let it set for eons with straight water in it so corrosion is unbelievable. I'm having major issues with getting the sleeves out. My method is simply using a punch and hammer from bottom side, trying to knock them out that way. It is not working, lol. I've heard of a sleeve puller. Is this somethin I can rent or what? What have y'all used or any poor boy tricks to getting them out?
Also, I was told about an engine kit that will bump hp up to 58-65 hp over the stock original overhaul kit that produce low to mid 40 hp. Is this real or someone just spouting heresay? Thx
