944/928 engines don't have sleeves

They are aluminum blocks, high silicon content and have been very durable. The cylinder walls go thru a process that etches out the aluminum leaving a very high silicon content surface. Basically glass. It just doesn't wear unless it is exposed to poor lubrication, sand or pieces of valves.
