cracked sleeves

Ron Bertram	I have recently dropped off a 201 diesel at my machine shop to be sleeved back to standard, using parts suppplied from Ford. They used dry ice to install the sleeves into a 1.5 thou press hole. 2 of the 3 sleeves cracked using this method. What did we do wrong?
bontai Joe	My guess, and it is a guess is that .0015" is a bit tight for a press fit for steel sleeves. Or it could be just that the sleeves had a flaw in them.
juan	My friend the use of dry ice is a good pratic but, if you heat the engine block with a steam cleaner the seam blast This very hot Then the sleeve are very iced Press with a wood block into the cylinder hole .Be quickly please good luke juan
