MB Doc is right on the official repair. On another note, I have seen one sleeved with a steel sleeve here in Atl with good results. I'd expect it to live about 150-200K if the oil is changed regularly. On a silicone bore, they will last literally forever if the oil is changed. They just don't wear.
