First thing I'd do is look for another mechanic, however that happened it indicates unfamiliarity with an engine design shared with so many other engines of the era, and lack of attention at the least. And I agree with Tim, it will probably run OK for a while, ultimately wearing the bore egg-shaped. And yes, you could bore and sleeve the tappet bore; I assume the engine is already removed from the car which would be necessary to do that properly. Looking for another engine block is probably the best longer term solution.
