Have you ever seen the main bore go out of alignment after putting in more then one sleeve?

I think you may have something there. In race blocks that are run and serviced a few times a year or once a year, after a few freshen-up hone jobs they do seem to settle in and stay straighter. Not sure about the main bores, because we line hone them anyway after the sleeves are installed. Something to check. We line hone everything that's getting a complete overhaul.
