perkins 236 sleeves

[PJBROWN VT]

Has any of you guys pulled dry sleeves before?? On the perkins 236 I'm working on I can't get them to move at all. I have done 3 JD wet sleeves mottors in the past and the sleeve puller has no problem pulling them up ,but this perkins is another story!!!. Thanks.

I have pulled dry sleeves in a Farmall H.I took 1 of them out in pieces.I saw somewhere on this website where they showed a chisel that was made just for that.It was kind of thin on the end of it,as it went in between the sleeve and the cylinder it had a raised up place on it that cut the sleeve.
I have worked on motors with wet sleeves and it was no trouble to pull sleeves out with a sleeve puller.Pulling dry sleeves was a lot harder.I ended up making a piece that fit over the end of the sleeve then I took a piece of big threaded rod and used that for a puller with some piecees of solid square metal on top.I took a nut with some washers and tightened it with the piece I made on the bottom,then tightening up the nut on top it would pull the sleeve right about the time I was getting scared that it would strip the threads,it would move just a little,sometimes even then only after I got under it and beat on it with a big hammer and a big piece of rod to get it to move at all.

use a welder and run a arc or two the full length of the sleeve[[[ DO not burn thought]]] they will crack and just about fall out be real careful putting them in they are brittle so NO pounding on them. i use liquid nitrogen to dunk them in they shrink and go in but you will have to put them in the freezer for a day. have everything ready and do one at a time WORK FAST once they stick your kind of stuck GOOD LUCK

Those sleeves are very tight! I had to borrow a 50 ton sleeve puller to do the job one time. I also know of a case about the same time where a shop used the welder trick and welded one fast in the block. Not the best or boring bar tool bits either. I used to have a Perkins catalog that had genuine oversize Perkins pistons for those engines
