What would scare me is what if you do nothing, put it together, and the crack continues to move--right toward the valve seat causing it to come loose. The right shop/welder can fix that crack and probably guarantee it. We had a 4 cylinder Massey Ferguson tractor block welded between the sleeves and re-machined for the sleeves--and the shop guaranteed the repair, cost wasn't that bad either. Trouble is finding a shop that will put their money where their mouth is. If it were me, I would see if I could find another block/engine since a replacement can probably be acquired for what a repair would cost
