Are you sure they are square? Just not carboned up...my heads looked like that and I just ran a drill bit in and removed the carbon and then tapped a 1/4 20 thread in and used set screws to plug them....
Those holes are to be plugged. Most are done via drill and tap to use a 1/4 X 20 stud. They can be purchased at a ACE hardware store with a hex/Allen end so it will sit flush/counter sunk in the head. Apply lock tight to them.
No i am not sure if they are round because i am going off what the shop told me i will look at the heads myself. All info i have seen or read leads me to believe they are round like stated posibly alittle carbon clogged. The shop that was doing the work is capable but i think alittle header install job wasnt the big money job they wanted and may have slid me thru. I was looking for easy way out having lift installed headers and collector hook up all at once while i was traveling should have done it myself. thanks for info and will update soon
