I drilled holes in a junk head a while back...may have posted the pic but not sure. The domes are thicker than they seem. Bet you have no worry with the casting pit.

Great to know how thick! I think I'm totally fine in that department. Family here now, the engine shop is shut down for a few days. Three of my four kids here tonight for my 71st birthday dinner.
