please post some definate knoweledge on sleeveing a block

Machine shops can get sleeves, no, the block is not toast, in fact, the engine in my avatar had a piece of **** hyper piston come apart, and the pin dug a hole into the wall until it blew the radiator cap off. Most would've used a new block, but I had so much work into this block, I opted to sleeve it. It was $160 to sleeve it at a diesel engine shop, I honed it with torque plates, got a set of custom forged pistons, and it has made it a long time now, over 100,000 miles, hard truck duty, many many miles of WOT, with a 4" crank pulling 15K or more..
