Hi Folks,
On sleeved blocks.
We used to sleeve all of the 109E ford blocks. (Cosworth BDD) These were offset bored as well. We picked up 12% torque with offsetting the bores.
All of the F5000 Chevy blocks were sleeved. Traco were the first to do this due to failures with un-sleeved units.
There is nothing wrong with a sleeved block.
Matter of fact, all current F-1 engines are sleeved blocks. (Note: they are sleeved in some very trick ways. read Racecar engineering mag for details.)
