I'd suggest laying a head gasket across it and see where the conflict is. Not familiar with LT gaskets, but many are a good bit larger than the bore (to account for boring, etc).

It is a critical area as the head gasket 'fire ring' passes invicinity...it seals off all the combustion pressure between the head and block. Really a bad place to have an imperfection.

You should certainly try something as decking/replacing the block is the worst case scenario.
