Default safest big bore?

what is the point of breaking when it comes to big bores on sleeved 4 cyl engines. When I called on my status for my block they (goldeneagle) said " oh you had something special done" doesnt scare me but will my block be safe with 86mm godzilla sleeves.

Remember, when you bore what becomes thinner are the cylinder walls, not the sleeves.
