AC B engine block

Started to pull the sleeves on my B when I noticed that the head mating surface has cracks between eack cylinder and sleeve. I have heared of folks brazing the cracks and filing down the area prior to replacing new sleves and not having any trouble with the engine.
I'm not too sure about this and would like some input on the idea...might be better off finding another block.
Thanks, Dave
 
Would you believe it is a rare block that you find that does not have those cracks and they have had those cracks for decades. Or in other words that is common and as long as they are not the size of the grand canyon the head gasket will seal them just fine
 
Wow! Thanks fellas. Thats a load off my mind. The cracks are just wide enough to catch your fingernail on if you were to drag it across.
Thanks again,
Dave
