I know this shop does good work. The shop I use cools the sleeve with dry ice before installing for a tight leak free fit. However, if hr didn't go into the plumbing, not a problem. I never relieve the blocks even on the racing engines, I did originally until I started using a flow bench. The only thing it does id lower compression, and it just adds to the cost. i wonder how bad the cylinders were?? I Usually bore to 3 5/16, cleans up most bores.
