NOPE!,
I had a hole in a block and a little damage to the cylinder on my 6 and I
had a new liner fit and the hole welded up. As long as you didn't do any
structural damage, it's salvageable, especially if you've had lots of
machine work done to it.

Unless you are a serious miracle worker, the hole in the block is fatal.
At
least for the block.

look okay, but that is optimism. Hole in the cylinder wall is trash
right?
