You can peen the old sleeve, or make another  one - I've done both, the 
latter out of thin wall mild steel tubing - exhaust  pipe will serve if you 
can't 
find an original crush sleeve or something out of  another car that works.
 
Had to do that when setting up a 5.125 for the  TVR for hillclimbing once.....
