Howdy, Guys,
Sorry i have been slow on updating the folks on what the out come was. I did for sure have a hole that went into the water jacket on the head. I filled with water and watched it squirt out. I ended up getting some of that Epoxy steel and filled the hole and re-tapped it. I have started the motor several times and gotten it up to temp and have not seen any issues with it. I was planning to use JB Weld but I found some stuff that had listed it was for cast iron block and the temp rating was better than i could find on the JB Weld.
I think I am all set now... thanks for the suggestions. BTY, I put studs in all the valve cover bolts and i loved the way that turned out. I wished I had thought to do that before on some other things.
