It is a little hard to tell from the photo just how big the hole is, but I have a suggestion about fixing it. I assume you will be removing the sleeves. Take out a sleeve and leave that one in place. Using the removed sleeve as a pattern, grind or machine a piece of metal that will fit in the hole and butt up against the sleeve. If you are good enough you may even get the O-ring groove started. The idea here is while the sleeve is in, get a piece of metal as a patch to fit and then just lightly tack it in or braze it in enough to hold it in place. Then remove the sleeve and take a look at what you have. If good enough then start to carefully weld or braze the piece in. On the cylinder side I think I would just braze as it can fill in the cavities and then be ground down with a Dremel tool. The O-ring groove would be the critical issue in the whole endeavor. This is just a thought and it is hard to see just how difficult it would be from the one photo. This is something you could do on your own as taking it to a machine shop would cost a lot just for the setup and getting another block would probably be no less expensive.
