So Mike, what is the plan to seal that hole better on an assembled short-block? I would almost think that putting some epoxy into the one side of that hole would work. It could be just slightly below the deck and still seal? Something like splash zone or JB steel putty, two part epoxies might work. Splash zone tends to sag longer set time but easy to form and sand after, the steel putty is stiffer and might stay in place better, sets up a little quicker. Wonder what other "work arounds" there might be??? On an un-assembled block drill the hole and put an aluminum threaded plug in there, and mill it down even to/with the deck.
