I found some damage on cylinder wall # 5. Would you feel comfortable using this block? Since these engines can't be re-sleeved, is it possible to fix it?

How did that happen?

I'm not sure what caused this damage. I got this block online to replace the cracked one that is currently in the car. One of the tabs that connects the engine mount to the block was torn off. I had it "professionally" welded back on, but he used too much heat and the crack expanded several inches.
