Rick, honest question. You would trust all of that block work to all the new ($$) internal parts you would have to throw inside? You have a much higher faith and trust in your block repair guy than I would. From a confidence perspective, to me it's a total do-over with all fresh components.
Eljaro, good luck with whichever direction you take...that was a tough one to look at.
