Yes you could but then you have reduced the water capacity.Sleeving is not cheap. Typically $200 bucks for one cylinder. For not scarce blocks it is hardly worth the effort. Concreting has problems too. Sometimes the mix has hi acid content and will leach through the cylinder leaving a ring or stain at the height of the concrete or whatever you want to call it which to be honest really bothers me, I am currently doing a motor for my buddy and because some BOZO suggested it he bought the stuff and did a short fill last winter . One cylinder has the ring and another a stain. I wish I could just chuck the whole mess and do it the way I would for myself. It is only a 400 block and is a mere 010 over so the pour was totally unnecasary. Too many cooks always spoil an otherwise good engine. Everytime i see it i am reminded of why i dont so this for a living anymore. If he wasnt a good firend i would just pop it in his truck and forget it probably telling him to get tthe guy who suggested this nonsense to do it.. 
Sorry I got going but this deal on this block has been keeping me awake nights.  Its not that i havent poured some either. I have an experimental motor of my own that is a 440 block .080" oversize and I poured it (but not with the moroso stuff. (482 cubes. )
