As far as I'm concerned sleeves are a great repair if done properly. My 428CJ has had a sleeve in number 5 since 1982, and still runs great. One thing about sleeves though is that if you sleeve two adjacent cylinders, you can develop a crack between them at the deck of the block. So you want to try to avoid that. My experience with sleeves has also been with the thin ones, .090" wall I think. No sense in taking any more material out of the block than absolutely necessary, IMO...
