Agreed. Press fit is holding power. Preferred methods will vary. Mine is 0.015" per inch of bore. Which would be 0.006" press for a 389/400. Sleeve spends a few hours in the freezer, and installed when the block is still warm from over-bore operation. Brake fluid is used as anti-gall lubricant. Then add notch accordingly.

That makes more sense.

I don't care what it costs . besides if I went out and bought another block it might be cracked too. what's a few hundred bucks to keep a numbers matching tri power car together.
