I'm going to have to rebuild my B23FT. I'd like to know the pros and cons of block sleeving. Does anyone have experience with this? Wouldn't sleeving add to the strength of a block rather than boring it oversize? How can I make sure that the right material is used for the cylinder sleeves/liners? Would sleeving cost less than buying an oversize set of pistons for the B23FT (Forged)? I can't seem to find info on sleeving other than for marine applications and small engines.

Thanks,

Rene Svastal
