Hot Rods Hole in intake port

In the process of porting and polishing my intake and exhaust ports on my 4 banger, the number one intake port developed a hole in the port. See picture. Is there a way to repair this hole? All of the others are ported with no problems.

The hole opens into the water jacket in the block. There is no pressure in the system and very little heat in this area.

 

There`s a special epoxy for such applications.

 

Heat the block up with a torch and braze it.

 

Had the same issue years ago in an A bone headed to the salt, brass worked well to fill the holes. Tried a T motor a few years later, not so lucky, the ports crumbled. Try the epoxy first…

 

Moroso A+B epoxy might be worth trying...
