How do you "sleeve" a block?

If you buy a set of sleeves for a block - how the heck do you go about removing the old ones, and then replacing them with new ones?

You have to take it to a machine shop and get them to use a Multi-ton press to press them out.

Then press in the new ones.

yes, they old ones are machined out (usually on a CNC milling machine) and new ones are then pressed in.

Re: (GoldenEagleMfg.com)

I was asking how it was done - not where I could get a CNC machine and press

But thanks, always wondered how it was done!

Re: (sparq)

Theres a shop in Brewster, NY that removs old sleeves and installs new ones, me an my friends use that place when we need machine work, they charge about 400 bucks to replace stock sleeves that price includes the sleeves as well. I belive the shop is called Extreme Motorworks. Hope that helps. Peace

How do you prepare the block for sleeving? which offset do you used when CNC machining the block? by the center of each bore? anyone have any experience with this.
