Stop,
The sleeves are so damaged on the bottoms( bent and destroyed ) you can NOT pull them up without ruining the aluminum bore.
I know how to remove sleeves, I have done it all, I have a pallet full of replacement sleeves because I made the block to change sleeves at the track with just a puller. Dang.
And sorry I did not wear safety glasses.

I like to see Kennedy tool boxes with pictures of hot chicks.
Awesome
Is the 15k the materail cost for the block or one that is finished machined?
where are your safety glasses
I would've welded a peice of bar stock across the sleeve and grabbed a puller. But, there's many ways to skin a cat đ
On large Diesel engine we weld a vertical bead up the sleeve and that shrinks it to where the sleeve will push out very easy .
Plasma cutter and straight edge
Looks like you just need a grinder that will take a 6" wheel to cut deeper. I have a dewalt 60v cordless that takes 4,5,and 6" wheels, I love it.
Thanks Steve, showing no matter how fast you are or how top notch you are you still have to work for it, says a lot to everyone. People think itâs all easy peasy but never see the real struggles(as little or big as they may be) that it takes in every task to build something great. And as every car/engine/chassis/trans/anything canât attest words canât describe what it takes to get where it started to where it is. Good luck with your car Stevie, time for you son to get on here with a rig.
It's in the machine. Use a carbide endmill???
Hey, you think some kind of a "Star Nut" to fit(search images) would help? Claw type mount off the head studs to yank from, type thing.
Sorry if I'm overthinking and this is just the quickest way to git'r done. Cheers all.
6â death wheel!! Lol
Do you have any distortion issues only cooling one side of the cylinder?
Oscillating saw
Sounds like just need a bigger hammer
No Safety Glasses. This is your Verbal Warning.
Another Tool And no Safety Glasses, I need to see you in the Office LoL
Have you thought of building a 2 stroke V8 ?
Nice PPE.
Use oxy to shrink sleeves, used in component shop when no sparks were allowed. Shrunk out lots of things. If not weld bar across internal of sleeve, hole in centre of bar and slide hammer.
"freaking out" ?? not hardly . 62yrs old Ag & construction wrench , i am laffing , i wondered "how" all the way along đ rock on , man!!
Why didn't you put the block in the mill and use a cermit or ceramic tipped milling cutter? would have made it easier and quicker.
Can I ask why not bore the top out down to that shoulder line?
I have watched too many Cleetus videos to not be cringing while you did this…Sitting here saying wait for it….disaster in 5, 4, 3, 2, …
