Talked to the shop today, and a couple of notes:
- They are decking the block and honing the cylinders - the guys said that often during honeing any cracks or issues in the cylinder wall will show up
- He said they did magnaflux the block but that it is difficult to get a good evaluation of the cylinder walls as you can't get the magnaflux to stick very well to the cylinder wall. He also said a split cylinder sleeve may not show up on a maganflux.
- Decided to go ahead and re-sleeve that cylinder as it's cheap insurance. He said they'd also get a good look to find any cracks when they machined out the old sleeve

Hopefully this work will reveal the original issue.
Thanks!
