I can quite believe this - If I'd had a 'porous' head I needed to use, I would have tried a similar method, after seeing one cut in half, it's not difficult to work out.
good job
Shining a small touch through the head bolt, i could clearly see the oil way.
Also went to the trouble of buying a drill stand and 165mm 5/16" drill bit, which wasnt needed.
just done my spare head .piece of piss.
I'll be happy if everyone stops binning there GM heads and paying £250 for a Coscast heads.
its not a very hard thing to do
i drilled mine
turned a tube
permament loctite
filed the headbolt holes
drilled the cam lines
plugged both sides and hey presto!

Looking forward to a clear and consise writeup, its one of those things we kind of all know how to do, but none of us have ever done a decent writeup on.
Definately a worth addition to the mig archives
