Wow! You're in trouble if the machinist is asking you what size to bore for a sleeve.
Also indicates that he may never have installed a sleeve and doesn't know correct procedures.
Run away fast and find an experienced automotive machine shop.
FWIW: I had a local vocational trade school install a sleeve in my 8BA in 1973.Still running fine. Check in your area. Good luck.
