Sleeve replacement is easy. We had a special "T" chisel that we drove down on the inside of the thin sleeve to cut the sleeve until it could be lifted out. (We called them paper sleeves in those days). That "T" chisel lets you remove the sleeve without damaging the block.
When you get ready to put the new sleeves in, put them in the freezer for an hour or more, Then take them out and drop them in the cylinder holes before they can warm up. Be sure to get them all the way down, because when the sleeve warms up it can't be moved.
It is more difficult to get the valves properly adjusted by carefully grinding the ends of the valve stem - unless the lifters have been changed to an adjustable lifter as some time in the past. Not sure if you can buy the adjustable lifter or not yet, although it would make valve adjustment easier if you can find a set for a reasonable price.
