NoDOHC will become famous soon enough
If you machined the hole for the sleeve so that it was an interference fit (on the outside) you should be OK for a seal. A lot of things are press fit and hold coolant just fine (like the water pump shaft and bearing, for instance).

I don't know though, you might end up with more in machining than you have in SE housings.
