Paul, we would only install eight sleeves in diesel blocks as a last resort (i.e., no other blocks were available). Installing sleeves can be tricky, especially if there is significant erosion and porosity in the cylinder walls. There are probably fewer than ten machinists in the industry I would trust to do it. You are one of those. Paul Carter is another. Here in the Louisville area there is ONE. I've known him for over forty years.
