I don't think I would advise sleeving all 8 cylinders...it can be done....and is done...but I wouldn't have it done myself. Just don't feel right about it.

Have you measured the cylinders? Is there a bad ridge at the top? Do you think it would need an extra .020"?

You may be able to just clean the cylinders up and go with it.

Or, have the block sonic tested and it may be able to go .060" with no problem.
