What kind of bore are you talking about, like a bore that fits OE pistons like 81.10mm or 81.25mm or are you talking 82mm, 83mm, 84mm, 85mm range?

More info, y0~!

When you're getting a block sleeved like you're talking about, it's definatly a good idea to have the manufacturer of the sleeves install them. I've seen many-a-botched sleeve job by local machine shops.
