The cylinder walls have been overbore beyond the vw standard 3rd overbore,
and a sleeve (additional wall looks like a tube) is inserted to compensate
the oversize to bring the cylinder back to spec so that a piston can be put
back into the block... I personally never buy such a POS just for the fact
that if it has to be overbore and sleeved its has received over the
mechanical and hydraulic specs of pressure safety (yeah I might be
exaggerating) but why bother, plenty of good engines out there for a good
price, why bother with trashed engines.

I know its my 2 cent worth (Canadian to top it off) so isn't worth much...I
know.

 Okay,  Excuse my ignorance here but I need to know something which may be
quite simple.

In looking over rebuild engine selections for a Jeta (I know it is not a
rocco, but same engine), a couple of sellers have noted that their engines
have been "sleeved".

Someone want to enlighten me on what this is?

TIA.

Cory
