Thanks for your time

Yes and No.

For the most part there is work done to the Sleeve for sure and sometimes to the Piston. Now, depending what you want some mods are strictly done to the crank so you COULD just buy a stock piston/sleeve kit to rebuild it, but the majority of the modifiers DO modifiy the piston/sleeve.

And as PowerHouse stated modded motors do not have shortened lives (as long as the modifier knows what they are doing). I have several motors that are modded with 8,10+ gallons of fuel.
