sorry no pic, ,but i will try to explain. 2 small holes on the block deck and also the same 2 holes which match up on the heads, ,between the middle cylinders. i believe this was a FELPRO and also others idea in the past. i am inclined to plug them but thought i might seek some advice.

What gasket are you using? Haven’t read thru all the links, but likely only severe/HP engine would get plugged (?)
