Yes, a 302 will probably handle a sleeve that thick, but a 3/32" wall sleeve will accomplish the same fix with less material being removed from the block. That only requires boring the block to 4 3/16". I usually bore for about a .001" press fit when installing sleeves and cold soak the sleeve in dry ice and alcohol before installing it. I've been doing it that way for a little over 40 years. Jerry
