I asked a logical question and some people were nice enough to answer it without being condescending.

But thanks for reminding me how some other people can be.

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...
