Sleeve puller question

Sounds like you are doing this in frame? Surely you have pulled the pan or the engine side covers try and get a measurement from there, rough number would be good enough. I would say go an 1/8th bigger per side minimum, so 4.75 to start with. I'm guessing you will only need the puller for the first inch anyway, not sure how much sleeve hangs down on this engine. Good luck.

A picture of my sleeve puller. The disk is 5/8 inch thick with a lip on the bottom. Smaller diameter to fit in the sleeve bore and the larger diameter 1/8 inch larger. 3/4 inch all thread with a top bracket made to fit over the outer edges of the sleeve. I use the same tool to install the new sleeves, just turned over as a pusher instead of a puller. Just did a D-318 although I had the motor out of the dozer on an engine stand. Made it much eaisier to be able to turn the motor over to get to the bottom side.

we had a long bolt and a peice of steel and a slide hammer

So far, I just pulled the pan off. I can’t get in there to get a decent measurement...yet. I had a little more than I bargained for in the pan.

That is ugly. Where to begin. Looks like a major overhaul.

GEE? I hope you tell us those are spares left over from the last rebuild?
