Sleeve removal

1976 kz 900 , how do I remove the sleeves out the cylinder block? ready to send it out.

Aluminum expands twice as much as steel when heated. 450 degree oven should make the hole a bit larger than the sleeve.

It is like butter baby:woohoo: YA GOTTA LOVE THIS WEB SITEB)

yeah just dont let solomrus hand you a towel to pull of the oven with a hole where your finger goes!

Are the sleeves removable out of my 650 also?

yup, steel sleeves in an aluminum block. use the same trick.
worried that they will be worn out when you take it apart?

Were you allowed back in the house after she came home? Did it smoke the whole place up?

It took about five to ten minutes and that's it :side: I cleaned it for the most part so it could not really produce a smell:whistle:

russ's wife smelled it as soon as she got out of her car!:whistle:

a good bbq grill also works. it keeps you in the good graces of your spouse and leaves a nice smokey taste when your done. then you can use the dishwasher as a parts cleaner.

#1 strip parts of all rubber parts and gasket material

#2 fill dishwasher with purple power and insert parts

#3 stop halfway through to get a good soak going then restart

#4 while dishwasher is on it's drying mode, run to store and buy flowers and diamonds because you are getting caught for sure.

#5 wait till she leaves and repeat as nessessary

#6 thank her for understanding the kz obsession we are all guilty of and promise never to do dumb sh#t like this again.

(btw, never use the bathtub as a parts washer, that is just to redneck and wrong in so many ways)
