sleeve seal issues

I have a 54 fordson major with the mark 1 engine. I am in the process of doing a rebuild on it. I just got the block back from the machine shop and when I went to press in the sleeves they are all cutting the seals in the block. Has anyone else experienced this or know why it is doing it?
