Not always, but quite often we use liquid nitrogen to install sleeves when repairing industrial equipment. The liquid nitrogen will shrink the sleeve .004-.005 and it just slides right in. We also usually shoot for a .0015-.002 press fit.
But,I’ve never sleeved an engine block before. So I’m not sure if the extreme cold will affect the grain structure of a cylinder sleeve. However, It does work real well for our applications.
