Wait, so the head needs drilled too?


Umm ya.

If you only drill the block what good are those holes? They would just be blind holes.

Drill the head and now the air/water can travel through the holes.

Cool, sounds easy enough.  How deep are the holes in the head? About a half-inch, same as the block?
