Once the cylinders have been sleeved will they cavitate again?
Maybe, but doubtful. How old is this truck?
Do the sleeves go all the way through the block or do they only go down 3/4 of the way?[/quote]
All the way

in theory the sleeves should not leak unless they have a super lot of wear on them

The block is milled down to about 1/4 inch left of the parent bore. Thats for the sleeve to have something to rest on. Otherwise the sleeve will slip down and hit the crank. If the block is bored all the way down for a sleeve repair it will be ruined. Material taken off cannot be put back on.
