Well, over time, sleeves inside the engine wear out. So if you try to push a piston through the sleeve, it has no pinch (no compression).

Theres a process called pinching and it actually "shrinks" the sleeve almost like it came from the factory. So you'll have more compression. Also, you'll have to re-break-in the engine.
