Thanks, I might take the head down the street to a machine shop and see what they will charge to weld the hole shut. That way no leaks are possible. I will keep you all informed as I finish this. I couldn't find my extra valve stem seals and camshaft seal so I am waiting on a Rock Auto order at the beginning of next week.
I think I can buy a lot of JB Weld for 40 bucks. I think I will use that as a reference price for having it welded shut. I had to buy new shims to get the valve clearances right and I am waiting on them right now. I have little time these days to do anything for myself. I may need to re-evaluate that if I want to do my own things.
Tough to be a handyman with a good rep I guess.
Thanks for the link just the same, I sort of remember that being available but then sometimes my memory fails me and the delusions take over.
