Noting wrong with sleeving, but it's real expensive, and since there is a sleeve in the block with some kind of lubricant in between the two, a sleeved block, in my opinion, will run slightly hotter than a non-sleeved block. The thinnest cylinder was .203" so it's plenty of meat for .065" over, and a set of custom pistons with rings is about the same as just sleeving the block, but with sleeving, you have the cost of pistons, and rings on top of that.
