What types of issues with the head gasket have those guys had?

I have zero real world experience with sleeving, so I only know what I can access online. But a quick trip to the fountain of knowledge shows at least one builder (vac motorsports) who routinely sleeve bmw alusil engine with flanged ductile iron sleeves with success in builds much more demanding than an NA m96.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to knock raby or ln from an experience standpoint, but their prices are absurd and it seems like those are the only 2 guys who ever come up in engine discussions without any talk of the rest of the vast world of engine builders.
