Take it apart and measure the bore. No other way to tell.

Yeah, since there is a negligible horse power and performance gain, the only true way to know if it's been bored over is to take the top end off, and measure the engine stroke, and bore.

Or see if you see .030" on the top of the pistons. Sometimes, SOMETIMES, you can read it with a bore scope.
