Sleeved cylinder

Hey everyone. I’m new to Jeeps in general. Just acquired a 98 wrangler with a bad motor. Taking the motor to get looked at by a machine shop next week. One of the cylinders is in pretty bad shape. Hoping the shop can sleeve it. My question is does anyone think a stroker would be ok to build with a sleeved cylinder. If it can I know I’ll have other questions later on regarding upgrades and tuning if need be. Not trying to build anything crazy just want a decent build to drive from time to time. Don’t plan on doing any major wheeling but like the idea of having a little more power than stock and with the kits available for stroking the motor I figured why not. I’d love some input and opinions on whether or not I should or shouldn’t go with with the stroker option. Thanks in advance.

I would not worry about sleeves. I have 2 sleeves in this without issue.

Go for it. Sleeving a cylinder won't be an issue.

If you use a Ductile iron sleeve and is properly installed that will be the best cylinder in the block.
