no sleeving is for reinforcement..also will allow you to run a bigger piston larger bore then the stock sleeves will allow....

i have heard that the B20 stock sleeves are really weak and prone to crack under stress. maybe its a good idea to get it sleeved.

b20 blocks will hold up just fine as long as you have a good tune and keep the RPM's under 8000 with high compression.It will last as long as any other honda motor with good maintanance and care.
