hey I want to tell this fella something,
Joe Mondello used to port aluminum E-heads for Olds into the head bolt holes,
he's insert a sleeve just like a Pontiac pushrod sleeve,
you could see it plainly like a nose on a face inside the port.
and...some 5 years ago, Butler Pontiac had CNC ported E-heads,
that were ported into the bolt holes, for sale on their website.
I was interested in them, they flowed big numbers,
I asked them what about the breaks in the ports ?
he said they just seal them with permatex.
if you coat the sides of the head bolts with sealer,
then put them in and torque down.
then go in the port and put a thin layer of DEVCON EPOXY on the inside,
over the break,
it'll seal.
I'll post some pics of Mondello's heads.
