Default Sleeving Pinto Blocks

Has anyone had any joy with sleeving a 2L pinto block and getting it to work reliably in a race engine? Any thoughts or advice much appreciated.

I haven't sleeved a pinto, but i've sleeved other blocks with no dramas. As long as the work is carried out by a competent machine shop you will be fine. What is the purpose of the sleeve: repair, reduce overbore size, or go a much bigger bore?
