Ok the sleeves(or cylinder walls) are what hold the pistons(and contain the combustion process) so the bigger around they are the bigger pistons they can hold resulting in more displacement, and ultimately in more power. The stock sleeves are thin and cannot be bored very much, so you have them taken out and replaced with thicker/stronger sleeves which then can be bored without worry(to a point of course). Did that help?
