Do you agree with this Hot Rod magazine online article quote?

"Back in the day" sleeves were the fastest way to get the most stable cylinder walls. That's where the pwoer is. Plate honing came out later, and if the sleeves are done right, there will still be distortion - just to a lesser degree. That's one of the reasons NHRA only allows(ed?) a maximum of seven sleeves in any EOM block. Race blocks use sleeves now for both strength and ability for easy repair.
So no BS. I agree 100%.
