Sleeves are out. Halfway through #4 the weld on the set nut against the slug let go. I spun it around on the engine stand, grabbed a hunk of drill stem and the four pound and drove the rest out.

We hauled our own. Had a slide in dump bed with a hand pump hydraulic hoist.

Figures. Man you're old.

I had a problem like that. Turned out there was a mud dauber nest in the control box.

The guy that started this teardown did that on the first cylinder then quit. Seemed a little easier pull I may do that next. There's no rush. I'm just pulling the sleeves to have it tanked and tested. Then it's going on the shelf.

That is an excellent point.

Can't say I haven't thought about it.

OTC is $600.00 too.Even the tool store guys winced.With the machine shop time for the slug I'm at less than $100.00.

5/8" 11 ,figured I'm going to have to pick up some grade eight nuts. I didn'texpect it to be easy. Especially building my own sleeve puller along the way.

I've been puttering with this block. Pulled the first two sleeves now #3 is fighting. Got it about 2" and now it's stalled. Stripped the threads on the wrenching nut(grade 8 all thread). No pics this forum doesn't seem to like my new phone.

Ad says prototype.

Cousin's got a 200. Outside profile's the same. Not sure about how they mount.

Yes. 185 ,200 I'd say if I were guessing.

Dillon's mini-gun comes to mind too.

Again, "I admire a true believer even if I don't agree with them". I think Roe v Wade is an abomination. It's a terrible decision that ignores exactly half of the baby making equation (the Father). You want to end abortion legally in a non religious context? Give fathers a choice. That thunder you hear will be legs slapping shut all over the country.
