Years ago I sleeved one bore of a +80 block with a liner I got from Westwood Cylinder Liners. Sorry, I can’t remember what it was just know it wasn’t a standard Austin liner. Westwoods have a huge catalogue of parts and I just picked one that was going to give me the same wall thickness as an Austin one at standard bore. It worked for years on a race engine and wasn’t the reason I stopped using it. You do have to be a bit careful, the required bore size doesn’t leave much metal at the base of the block. I don’t think it would stand all four done like that. It depends,really, on how much you want to save that block- mine had a lot of porting work done on it. If it’s a standard block it would be far easier just to get a new one.
