tinker... I'll check lighting out... The block is in recovery.. A few motorheads and a buddy (drag racer) that has done this many times showed up. The best welder in town came over and a few hours of debating, the welder was confident that he could solder the few holes up and make them good as new.. We got the block back, now (with advice from ours buds) we are going to put about a 1" of "hard Blok" into the bottom of the waterjackets to seal of water and reinforce these area's that are thin. .. thats it..
