Nothing logical about your question UNLESS you are assuming a cylinder sleeve operates like a "dry" or" wet" cylinder LINER in a diesel engine. Both dry and wet cylinder LINERS have a liner protrusion height that is checked before and after machining the seal bosses for the upper and lower sealing o-rings. Once the liner protrusion height is determined( from a new liner), shims are installed under the liner to adjust it to the proper height. When the cylinder head (or heads) is installed and torqued, the liner "seats" the o-rings sealing them in the bosses. Liner protrusion height is extremely critical in "wet" liner engines. Cylinder repair sleeves do NOT operate this way...
