    Try Steve's technique first. Don't "overfix".

      James..crud will gather between the sleeves and the jugs, so its not an "over fix" to disassemble and be sure its absolutely correct. The only thing that basically holds them in when the engine is hot is the fact the head is bolted on holding them in place.

      I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

        You're asking a novice to execute a fairly complex, precision fit operation. What is simple for you isn't for others. He's as likely to break something else as fix the original problem.

          I wouldn't disassemble the sleeve unless pushing it back down doesn't work. There is almost no way for crud to get between the sleeve and the cylinder anyway unless the sleeve is completely removed.

          First choice on the repair technique is to press the sleeve back down cold. If a press isn't available, I'd heat the cylinder gently, and tap the liner back down using a piece of wood. Last resort is remove the liner and clean.

            Or the oring at the bottom has failed...then all sorts of crud DOES migrate around the outer edges of the sleeves Ed. Ive taken what otherwise looked like perfectly clean head tops apart and there was crap sitting in there.

            And James..its about as complex and precise as making a PBJ sandwich.

              Happens all the time. Do Not heat it up. Just put it in a press and seat it. cold.
