Hang on a second.....

Rule of thumb is no more than one sleeve per cylinder bank, ohterwise the strength of the block is compromised. Cylinder walls get thin, and they do a lot to hold the block deck to crank journals together. When a thin cylinder lets go, it cracks around it's circumference, rarely vertically. So there goes your block strength. More disaster will soon follow. And what about "doing it right"? Well, a press fit involving heat doesn't help much if the original cylinder cracks. I've heard of some sort of furnace brazing that sounds OK, but even if it is done, most machine shops proabbly dont' have the capability, plus as for the cost?.....best keep shopping. Of course I could be alltogether wrong.... worng......
