"I've had one Dart block where the sleeves sunk .002" in a time period from new to the first freshen. There were no symptoms. The builder took .002 off the deck and they never moved again."

Scott,
The sleeves are installed .002" above the deck and will seat when the deck plate is used for honing. If the builder cuts the deck beforehand to achieve a flush condition the sleeves will ultimately seat, leaving them .002 below the deck. The subsequent .002 cut simply brought things back to where they would have been.
