Disassembling F4.6
Well, you got me...In airplane engine, the head is designed so that the lip of the sleeve sticks up and you can put a small screwdriver under it and pop it out, but in these, the lip is sunken down where I can't get to it. How do I get it out?

jam your finger or thumb in to the cylinder. Then turn the engine over by hand with the flywheel. Your finger will swell up and grip the cylinder and the piston will push the sleeve out.
