Agreed.
I did not realize that he was in Austria, I didn't look at his avitar.
That's a game changer for sure.
As mentioned, If you can't find a better block, then hit it with some Ni-Rod and machine it flush, and it might be good enough.
The previous repair was not very good, and the part that was actually sealing was maybe 1/4 '' at best.
Not good enough IMHO.
It really makes me wonder why it was repaired there in the first place...
