I'n four years on my ship, I've seen a fair amout of saltwater corrosion on alluminum, just get rid of it and move on, it would take YEARS for the structure of the block to be compomised. I'd be more concered about the inside of the block. Definately take it to a machine shop and have the sleeves/heads check out. Everyting else you should be able to see.
