mechanical fuel pump on a 95-99 crate motor
Im trying to install a mech fuel pump on my crate motor, it has everything machined out for the pump, but I tried to put the push rod in and it wont go in more than an inch, I looked inside the block and there seems to be some kind of sleeve inside the block, is this normal? is there an easy way to remove it?

it's not the rod, it looks like a hollow sleeve. It was originally a FI engine but it is now carbed. It had a block off plate originally which I removed. Would there be a push rod in there if it was originally a FI engine?
also, the rod im trying to put in is one that I purchased from summit because I assumed there wouldnt be one in there.

it seems to be a sleeve with an OD of 1/2" and an ID along the lines of 7/16"
I was able to insert a piece of stiff wire all the way in until it touched the cam.
anyone know the purpose of this sleeve and how to go about removing it?

I would assume it would removed the same way as the push rod. It probably is an oil tube for upper lubrication. Not needed with a reciprocating push rod? My perception.
