I still have to have the short block checked out. Just with all that water in the oil and the bearings , rings and the rod in that cylinder need to be checked.

To weld or epoxy ?, junk or not? ...

Source a proven 'high end' shop & have the heads SONIC CHECKED.

After,- note here- complete, thorough , meticulous, ck 5x type cleaning !!!
debris 'skew' readings :D

As to weld or epoxy ---not choosing sides.
Anecdote,
Had this one AL head off a short fuse turbo motor, cracked, time to weld it up.
Simple right ? not so simple ! the silicone content in the alloy, not so conducive
to repair!
Next the AL alloy wicks & stores oil, no matter how much its 'cleaned'
We would start a bead, the heat would leech oil out of the AL.
Solution !!! just pop that puppy in the Baylor Cleaning Oven & BAKE OUT
all that nasty oil residue --- NOT---
Turned into a door stop.
