This is the same condition I found in my Series 3 GT when I purchased it and
took the engine in for the machine work. I wanted to keep the original
engine but I chose to find a 1700 instead.
However, the machine shop (race builders) told me they could repair it by
building those two surfaces up and then machining it back to original. MUCH
more $$$ though, as you can imagine. I had all kinds of metal in the oil.
It looked like matalic paint!!
It is possible and if this baby runs so well you might think about it.!!
