As far as indicating it, clean up the face with a flat file, just enough to get rid of any rust and burrs, and then indicate where there are not pits. Check the fit to the block by trying to insert feeler gauges after bolting the housing to the block without a gasket.

I did all that with the file, the pits are too deep.Wish I had Brent's grinder to clean up the surfaces. Many people's advice would be to junk it I'm sure.
