Ronnie hit the nail on the head. When I installed 59AB heads on an 8BA block I used a pipe thread tap and then screwed in a pipe plug with non hardening Permatex so it was just below the deck surface . Then covered it with JB weld. That was 10 years ago and it's still holding. I think you could do the same.
