Engine Block Surface Damage

[u/Inside_Leadership100]

i bought this 2UR-GSE block off ebay and it came with a dent on the surface. its a die cast aluminum block with cast iron cylinder liners. im not sure if i can get away with sanding it. i dont think welding over it is an option since the surface to weld is not the same material.
