And donâ??t forget to seal the internal oil channels in the block, Iâ??m 
thinking of the channel from left to right and the one that goes up to the 
cylinder head. When you clean the block all the puriosite in the cast iron is 
exposed for the oil pressure, which is higher than the coolant pressure, and 
you will eventually end up with the deaded oil in water mess.
There has been kits in the market to do this from the usual suspects. Magnus 
Karlsson helped me with my block some 15 years ago. We screwed in threaded 
pipes in the oil ways.
