Default Repairing a 60 hp tin side block?

Hello! I have a disassembled 60 hp tin side block with no visual cracks (so far) that has apparently been frozen and the tin is slightly bulged and separated in one small area. Can this be repaired so that the block can be further tested for damage? Who does it?? It is a very clean block with SS exaust valves and I have all the parts to put the engine together. You may call my cell at 330-219-8590 if you can help! Thanks, Kenny!

Is the metal seperated from the block where it was resistant welded or is the metal cracked? G.M.

Yes, the metal is separated , but just a very small gap about 2 or 3 inches long!

A good welder can braze that up so you can't tell it was ever done.
