Obvious there are several answers, but I like the Darton Wet sleeves, they are pricey.....but they can do them on Iron blocks, thats where the machine work is a little painful to the pocketbook. Then there are of course dry sleeves, or a wet sleeve with a dry sleeve to get down to your needed bore size if Darton dosent have the ones you need (as in min bore)
Yup........
We sleeve for max overbore on a lot of engines, on the newer castings .060 isnt even an option.... and the Dartons are easiest once done, to run , pop and for new ones... about 6k for a darton sleeved 6.1 hemi. But when you dont have a choice....well...you dont have a choice, got a pal who did 10 at once and knocked of a grand a pop from Darton.
P.S. There is "Advanced Sleeve" out of Mentor Ohio, never had work done by them on the car side, bikes we used to order alloy sleeves for nikisail plating on older GP style bikes and some older oddball stuff where that was OEM like the Moto Guzzi's , but they make and install sleeves. Im going to have a block done because they are local.....well see...the proof is in the pudding.
