You should NEVER turn over a wet sleeved engine without securing the sleeves. Use some washers along with short bolts that fit the head bolt holes to gently clamp each sleeve down so it will not try to move up and down with the pistons before you turn it over.

I have no idea if your sleeves have moved enough to hurt the packings or "O" rings, but having them move should be avoided.
