I went ahead and tore down the engine tonight so I could pull the sleeve. Has me baffled. Everything looks perfect.
A little history on the motor. Complete overhaul that's been running for a little over a year. The engine has been highly modified though. I cut down 3 1/4" bore sleeves to fit and had the lower part of the block where the o-ring seals are bored out. Not able to use the stock 1/4" thick o-rings because the groove isn't deep enough.

My thought too would be dry out the block and seal just above the sealing area in the water jacket with something. Non-hardening permatex was mentioned. Maybe some hi temp RTV if I get everything dried out really well.
