well what comes to mind are Resleeved blocks. Which are blocks that have the sleeves cut and replaced with a stronger/thicker type of sleeve that are pressed in.

here is a sample of the Type of sleeve that replaces the stock sleeves.


and a block with the Sleeves installed.



Here is a block with stock sleeves.


The sleeves are used for strengtening the block and it also gives the option of Boring the block bigger than the stock specs.

Sleeving: Replacing the piston sleeves with a thicker/stronger material for extra strength. Usually associated with high compression or FI motors.
