Block sleeving is a precision machining process. Not aware of anyone doing reliable mid sleeve replacement work in TnT. Most sleeve replacement manufacturers won't warrant the sleeve unless done by their own machine shops too... that says alot. (Note)... just because a machine shop CAN do it (and many can), doesn't mean it's done properly.
I hope to the lawd I am wrong.

some claim they can press in Dry sleeves and bring back to standard
but as you and I know the sleeves can move and cause more problems

Stock sohc engines can hold decent power with stock sleeves. Rods and pistons are the weak point and if it's well tuned with NO detonation, the sleeves should be good to go. Most people that want to boost the crap out of something here, on pump gas will likely kill a piston before shifting a sleeve anyways.
If he is serious and wants to definitely sleeve... he can just buy a sleeved block from the US or PR. Trying one locally is not out of the question eh, but a shifted sleeve almost always means you would have to scrap A LOT of parts to recover from the damage... pistons, rods, crank and sometimes even the head can suffer irrepairable damage. I do know that people are running locally re-sleeved blocks and likely some of them are tuners.... they just don't want to let people know they are sleeved or built...
