Unless it had a head you'd have to pin it at the bottom .Then you have the problem of hitting the pins .You've  got to remember that motorcycle cylinder is huge compaired to a chainsaw.That guy in the vid claimed it swelled 10 thou from the heat .You never get that much on a saw cylinder .I only heated my cylinder up at 350 in an old oven .Heaven forbid I do it the wifes oven .

Even at that with around 2-3 thou interference fit and a frozen cylinder it took some pressure the get the sleeve in .

About the only thing I've seen flanged sleeves was on wet sleeve cylinders like tractor engines .Usually on a dry sleeve they just cut from the top down and leave about 1/2-3/4 inch uncut at the bottom of the cylinder .Press the sleeve and mill the  top off flush with the head deck .Almost nobody dry sleeves an engine any more for repairs other than some very rare engine .
