The shops that I have talked to about sleeving were talking about inserting STOCK sleeves into the block. I know the machine shop I used back with the SOHC said they could install any sleeve I brought them. However they had never installed a performance sleeve in a Honda before.
I didn't mean to say that lots of shops can sleeve like GEM sleeves. I meant they can resleeve a normal stock sleeve into the block.

Cedric @ modern performance WILL NOT SLEEVE A OPEN DECK block. I have been using him for 3+years. Although, He can sleeve any CLOSED deck block. He IS VERY good. He personally does all the work that goes through his shop. Not like some other machine shops that have some idiot ASE certified dipship doing your machining. I have NEVER had an issue with his work.

I have had 2 Golden eagle sleeved blocks sink, Both were some of there early ones. When Benson was the only ones around every block had a sleeve issue. Golden eagle took care of the problem and and i've had 30+ block done by them ( Including my own) and no since problem.
I use GE on every high HP block we build.
Even if someone charges you $100 to sleeve your block, It worth it when it goes wrong.
Spend the money and have it done right.
