ok, so youve got a few different things going on here...
normally the purpose of sleeving is to GO BIGGER than your stock bore (81mm)...so you dont really need to "bore it out" after you have sleeved a block...not until your next rebuild, anyway. so i guess you need to ask yourself "WAT is my goal?" if you want to stay NA then the only reason to re-sleeve a block is if you are trying to increase displacement to achieve upwards of 220whp. if you are content with just have a 1.8L and making around 200 whp, you dont need to sleeve it.
furthermore, sleeving is very expensive and it is also something that takes PRECISION machine work, so you dont just want to trust anyone with the task. many people would tell you that you should send your block to ERL because they do the best work in the industry. that might be somewhat expensive for you since you live in Hawaii.
my recommendation, if you feel like your engine needs a rebuild, then just have it re-honed by a reputable machine shop (maybe even bore .5mm over depending on the condition of your cylinder walls) and get yourself some RS machines ITR pistons and invest most of your money in good headwork and cams.
