You don't sleeve a head. You sleeve a block. Costs about $1000 if done right.

No need to do it unless you are planning big boost...or you're hoping for low 11s All-motor.

Someone please explain exactly what sleeving is. I know that if I try, I'll leave out a few details.

Stock Aluminum Cast Sleeves are machined out and Nodular Ductile Iron sleeves replace them.

Also, Reinforces the Deck. Some Brand of Sleeves complete close the deck.
