sleeving is the concept of boring out and machining the area around the cylinders to a wide diameter, and then placing precisely machines tubes of stronger metal in these slots...
the idea being replacing the not so strong stock engine block material with a stronger more durable layer right around the piston.
you can also increase displacement at the same time

.....wish somebody would explain sleeving to me[&:]

if that's the case then hotter cams, beefier pistons/rods and block sleeving are needed (which will help if you ever turbo).

I always get a kick out of this line. That motor sucks, and the car's heavy, but you probably know it. Best shot you have to do anything with that motor: Crower rods, CP/Wiseco pistons, full headwork, full custom turbo kit, AEM standalone + tune, then the drivetrain. All said and done probably cost youabout 6-7 grand in parts alone, then labor for everything, and it still may not even last you very long if you don't know what you're getting into.

i would not feel comfortable building a d17 for boost unless you sleeve and bore...or shorten up the stroke. its not exactly a good bore/stroke ratio for boost.

Its not a good motor to screw with heavily to begin with.
