Its not that sleeving the block alone adds more heat its a combination of factors that have attributed to the additional heat. Remember I am keeping the high RPM redline with alot more mass being rotated in my engine. The material that used to act as a heat sink behind the cylinder walls is no longer there... Larger moving parts with a greater surface area along with less material in the block will result in a hotter engine.
