That sucks about your new heads. :( Are the holes in the ports just a pocket where there was porosity in the casting, or does it go into water jackets or a bolt hole or something? Those look like the CNC ported version. I have a new in the box pair of Seedblasters that I've had for a few years. I'll get mine checked by my machinist before ever attempting to use them!

Yes they are the fully dressed CNC heads. I need to get head studs and head gaskets to run them. Id be better off getting some new rockers and rocker arms as well. Then Ill probably get some new spark plug wires as well, because I should finally fix them and have matching spark plug wires again haha.

I really have no idea how the holes happened. I emailed SM, opened a claim but havent heard back from them yet.

The holes in the ports are where the head bolts/studs go through. As mentioned above, in the SM thread it was said to use JB weld in the holes in the ports, smooth them up and call it a day. Then have the chamber hole welded, or filled by a professional. Water would be behind there, but they dont seem to go very deep, maybe 2mm.
