Rusty crust in distrubutor bore

The block was steam clean, vatted. I see the bore for the distributor has some rusty crust in it this raised surface up making the bore smaller.
Best way to get rid of this without boring it? And keep the bore accurate.
Can't be scrapped out.

Should have been done when the block was cleaned.

This rust is not loose scale, it is hard stuff. I tried a brush barely scraped.
Yeah missed it during maching process.
