Yes.


Quite True, but the reverse is not. That is sleeved bbls were not "Mono-Blocked" unless the old bbls were in fact removed from a mono-block, most aren't.
Cutting off a set of chopper or dovetail lump bbls does not produce a mono-block, though the method of installing the bbls are essentially the same in both cases.
