As the year is nearing an end we had to cut off some of the work. My team removed one piston so we can be shown how to remove the sleeve with a special tool.
I had to take this picture to show people I know just how massive these engines are. The crank alone is almost as tall as a person!
The tool seems to work like a normal gear puller would only the "jaws" are a plate designed to grab the edges of the sleeve.
In this picture you can see the plate at the end has a lip just long enough to grab only the bottom of the sleeve. Once its in place you just turn the handle and let it do the rest of the work.
Excellent use of pictures, Dalton! And there was no oil dripping in your face, when engine is in truck!
