click the link and comment. I personally wouldn't do it myself but have heard great results. A friend of mine just ran his b series build on the same sleeve setup and hasn't had a problem yet. Just found it to be out of the ordinary and different.
sorry if its a repost.

My buddy has made 5 or 6 passes on mid 20's psi or so. Hasn't had any problem with overheating or the material breaking down. If you take your time and do it right I believe its reliable. His setup is a bonestock b16, just a new head gasket, oilpump and waterpump. And besides the arp headstuds and acl race bearings.

Technically thats not a block sleeve. Thats 'closing the deck' so to speak. It helps the cylinders resist walking.
It has worked well for medium boost constantly.
