Is my K301 block okay?

I have stripped my K301AS for a rebuild because the rod broke. I have noticed a notch at the bottom of the cylinder( half way between the cam and where the bearing plate should be)It looks to have factory paint on it so it's not new. It it okay? The engine ran fine for years until the rod broke.

it should be fine just take some fine grit emery cloth and sand it smooth it it has rough edges. Thats from where the rod came and hit it others will chime in and help

Dremel the edge of that chunk smooth.  Emery may not be quite enough.  Looks like a real nice thick block.  You sure its not a k241?
