        I'll see if I can find something similar. Definitely don't want to use JB Weld in that area.

            Btw, turns out that is a set of oil passages cast into the block and a leak from that location is somewhat common on older head gaskets.

                Ideally, you should replace the head gasket. Sealant is going to be a temporary fix.

                  yeah but i wouldnt want to just replace the hg. i'd want to rebuild the bottom end to get rid of that piston slap you know? So if i could do a temporary fix i could figure out whether to swap with m50, rebuild a fresh m20, etc...

                  im very tempted to take my car to socal to get that stroker motor that's been rebuilt

                    Yeah, I know. :/
                    So in that case, let me find out which sealer we should put on it and we'll hope it holds up until you figure it out.
