Is a single-cylinder LS1 sleeve feasible?

Is a single-cylinder LS1 sleeve feasible?
I know very little about the absolute limits of the LS1 blocks, and a search didnt seem to turn anything up. I have an LS1 block sitting in the garage because Superior Automotive in CA managed to put a stock-bore piston in a 3.905" cylinder they honed, which summarily beat the crap out of the sleeve it was in. All other 7 pistons were the right size. Go figure. Anyways, is a single sleeve replacement feasible, or should I just trash the block? It's out of my 2000 Camaro SS which has already had an LS2 based shortblock put together, and is getting L92 heads here shortly, but if I can fix the LS1 cheaply, who knows what it might find its way into... So, opinions please: fix it, and a good place to fix it at, or take it to the recyclers and get $.45/lb for the block Thanks!

single sleeve replacement
I can repair your block if the aluminum behind the sleeve is not cracked. Darton makes repair sleeves in std. bore.
Call me for an estimate.
