Diy head porting disaster.
Hi everyone, new to the forum, life long Mopar guy. So here's my problem. I tore down my 87 360 to get a couple of broken manifold bolts extracted. I'm looking at cams and some other things to throw at it when I put it back together to give my old truck a little more life. So I decided to do a port job on the heads. No big deal, I've done it before. Until I found a thin spot on the intake port... There's now a hole about the size of a match stick going through the wall of the intake port into the bolt hole for my valve cover. Now what????
Thanks
Thanks

JB weld
--- I agree. I used it to seal up a porous 440 block that oozed coolant. I roughed the area with a power wire brush and then applied 2 layers of it. -- Smoothed it, when dry, and the problem was gone.

ill tell you this story if you dont laugh. on a 360 i thought it needed alinement pins in the chain cover. i spent 6 hours to find the right spot. one went into the water jacket. so out comes the JB-weld.
