Slipped sleeve and a little bit of high school science
#21
Okay, to answer all questions at once:
1) Pinning the liners is not an option as the block is still in the car.
2) I'm going to use the Elring gaskets to put it back together
3) The dry ice was removed between each pressing to allow the sleeve and cylinder to come back up to room temp. Reload with dry ice and repeat.
4) The original gasket was dented a bit on the side facing the sleeve, No damage to the head itself.

Got bad news for you: It worked. If you had followed the full thread, you would know that my plan was to get this back on the road for a while not another 100,000 miles. The dry ice worked perfectly. When I was done, the sleeve was flush with the surface of the block. The block is not cracked as it has been up and running for the better part of three weeks now. I put in the money, time and effort I wanted to put in.

How is that bad news for me? Are you trying to prove me wrong or something? I hope it's fixed, I don't want trouble for people. "Got bad news for you: It worked." But in the last post you talk about how it is not fixed. "The tick associated with a slipping sleeve is about 90% less noisy than it was prior to project so it appears that my push down on of the sleeve in #4 cylinder was somewhat successful. At this point, the remaining problem seems to be with the Driver side O2 sensor"
You could have just put 2 bottles of blue devil in it for 100 bucks and it would have been as "fixed" as it is now right?
"Got bad news for you. The sleeve is still going to move and make noise. It will just take it some time to hammer through the head gasket fire ring." I mean....
