Any think else i should be aware or when doing this.

Read the above manual. The manual has honing instructions, proper coolant to use, correct head gaskets, proper break in procedures, etc.
I'm a bit concerned about the rough bore size you mentioned 4.094". The MID sleeves are semi finished to 4.100" to 4.105".
Take a digital photo of the deck surface of one bank and a close up of the top of one sleeve and e-mail it to me at:
race-engine-development@***.net
I can tell what you have from the photo regarding the time line of the installed sleeves. Any clue who did the installation?
