I noticed your new bearing tools and I'm thinking to order one and modify it with some rubber material around to use it for disassembling the sleeve without heating the whole engine. Or will you release a tool thatfore in the future?

Many tools can be made for the engines..., there is however always a price-tag depending on the quantities we need to produce, in any case I will take it into consideration.

I know I would probably get one as well; as ya never know when it may come in handy.

i swear by this techniche. it works for me with any engine cold or hot. stick a rather large zip tie (like the ones that hold the air filter on) into the exhaust and up through the sleeve. then turn the fly wheel until it just pops up. then take the zip tie out and pull out the sleeve lightly with a set of channellocks. works with any size engine.

Yes, I use this method, too. But I don't like the fact that this is a lot of pressure to the port's and the piston's edges. I also remember that it's not recommended in the booklet, so I'll make a very easy tool (for trying) to leverage it out of position from the bottom.
