Some of you guys are posting up suggestions needed for a crack. All this block needs is filler metal and can then be filed flat with a file. Ask me how I know.
True that. Brazing it would do that.
First I would have the block checked for cracks, especially in that area. If it is good and the divots are filled it can be filed flat or better to mill both decks to the same height.
I like the old Fram filters adverts; Pay me now or pay me later.
