THOUGHTS ON SLEEVING?

Hi Folks

So here's my situation.......

I have a 340 block sitting at .030. The machine shop advises that 6 of the 8 cylinders will clean up at .040. Unfortunately, due to a little rust pitting, he advises that one cylinder will have to be sleeved, and a second cylinder may or may not need to be sleeved (won't know until boring is commenced.) I am not interested in taking it to .060.

What are your thoughts on sleeving? Go ahead, or rethink the whole shootin' match? Labour on the sleeving is $250 CDN per cylinder.

Thanks

for $250 per bore, i would do it.
local shop here quoted $400usd per bore.
same prob with mine, had a leaky head gasket on a project car i bought. compression was good and it ran good but coolant was weeping into the cylinders and two have some rust pitting...it blew some smoke once it was warm.
