[AT] Ford "N" sleeves

[John Wilkens]

Mike, I know that heat expands metal but I think I'd try heating up the 
sleeves then let them cool down and try some penetrating oil and the puller 
again.  (Try the easy way first!)    Valu-Bilt lists 3.367" OD sleeves and 
pistons for the 8N.  Not sure if they would work for a 2N.  I have a 9N 
with no sleeves at all.  The bore in the block is used directly with .084" 
oversize domed pistons.  Runs really good.  Someone must have thought they 
needed a little more power for pulling or whatever.   John W.
