One detail I forgot to mention. If the crack does not extend to either the top or bottom of the cylinder, a sleeve repair is possible. A crack that's all the way to the crankcase can allow a coolant leak into the oil because pressing or driving the sleeve into the cylinder can open up the crack and cause a leak behind the bottom of the sleeve. Ditto for the top- - - -compression and/or combustion chamber gas can bypass the sleeve at the top and get into the cooling system. The rule of thumb I've always used is there needs to be at least 1/2" of good metal at both the top and bottom of a crack.
