sleeving is fine if done right you shouldn't be able to tell it's even there. they will bore out the surrounding cylinder walls as well if you're rebuilding the motor. I'm guessing in sweden it's tough to locate engine blocks and this is why you're doing this.

Will not rebore the engine, I want to use existing pistons.

whoever will be doing the sleeving, should be able to measure nearby cylinders for oval etc, and should be able to hone/bore them if needed. you should be ok, worst case is buying 2 new pistons seperately, and two cylinders worth of new rings to fit those.
