I'm not experienced enough nor have the tools to be able to check if after the fact so I have to take his word on it anyways. I'm not sure of his level of experience with 2 strokes but he did say they don't typically do them just because they are harder and more time consuming to do for the reasoning you mentioned and they stay busy with automotive work. The guy builds custom race engines though and is a great machinist by all accounts so I trust him. He also does do some occasional work on 2 stroke outboards for a local guy who runs a boat repair business on the side so I know he does have experience boring them.
