Default patching aluminum????

is there a way to repair the aluminum cylinder where the cylinder sleeve sits in.

when i popped of the head of a 85hp v4 the sleeve was almost corrodet to the metal sleeve.
i was wondering if i could use a epoxy to protect any furter oxidation.

or is this block doomed???
