The cost of the sleeves and the machining will probably be less than what Egge will charge for new pistons. Their prices are higher than the reproductive system on a tall giraffe!
Edit: I don't know of any reputable machinist that will bore an engine before having the replacement pistons on hand. You might want to consider doing the sleeve job and boring/honing the cylinders to the correct skirt clearance for your original pistons, but choose a better-qualified machinist to do that job for you.
