you will probably be looking at as much if not more than you payed for the sleeves for fitting.
look for somewhere thats experienced in fitting them. a sunk sleeve will mean block scrapped

Depending on what sleeve you get depends on the amount of work you need to be done.. The wet sleeves need the most work.. Dry sleeves just replace your originals but Yes you can get oversized ones buddy but then you will need you block boring to suit

Sleeves are not a straight fit, they're supplied too small so you bore them out appropriately.
