When I got the head off I noticed the steel ring around the combustion chamber on # 2 cyl. was eaten away with rust allowing water to enter the cyl. The water was coming from one of the two steam hole that is only in B motors at that point. After replacing the previous gasket I did torque 3 times. When doing a search on the Ford Barn I see it is recommended to plug those holes in the block & head. My question is can J-B Weld be used successfully. They are 1/4 inch holes & could be threaded to 5/16 but this would require drilling out the holes. I'm afraid trying to tap the hole with a 5/16 tap might crack the block. Has anyone used just J-B Weld?? Thanks in advance. Perry

Are you also running a B head?
