How do you repair a scratched block?
I smacked it a couple of times with the header flange. I'm getting ready to put the heads back on. Any advice?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Okay...maybe I will get flamed but Ive seen (and know( that some scratches like this have been repaired with epoxy. You know the one that is sold at Autozone, Pep Boys and the like, called JB-Weld. Thing is quite good and resistant too. No problems reported.

JB is great.. but for this application its not going to cut it.

Thanks for all of the responses. Great input. The motor is NOT coming out. (Check my photobucket for pics of the install in my tiny garage) I'll put a match to it before I yank that thing again!!
I understand what will happen if I create a low spot. The filler idea is interesting...
