It'd be way easier and cheaper to simply bore it all the same. Or only as needed. Either way. Sleeving 6 will get rather expensive. At that point I'd think it'd be cheaper to find another block.

Sleeving is standard practice on diesels. No offense intended, but your buddy needs to get a different mindset to overhaul a 2 stroke outboard.

I hope you mean the pistons are .030 over, not .30. But yes, there are .040 os pistons.<br /><br />Before you go buying a bunch of stuff why dont we wait until you get the cylinders measured? That way youll know where youre at to start with.
