Rb25 Head Water Hole Welding

[joe blo]

hi guys. i need to get my head welded coz i didnt get that bit done when i got it reconditioned coz i didnt know about it even after reading the guide. i just got the oil hole welded and the new vct bit put in the side at the front.

i just need to know exactly what to do so i can tell the shop and get it done asap.

do i just get the extra welded on where the gasket would seal up if there was material there to seal on? will there be enough room for the water to flow properly coz that will block a fair bit of the rb25 hole up?

should i get the bit where it overhangs inside abit where my finger is in it reshaped like the pic of it with the black line on it to make abit of extra room to flow? i didnt look too hard but i think it will be ok. do people do that or is it bad for some reason?

feel free to help me out and even do a mspaint job on it to explain it properly if you can for me please.

heres the pics ive got. hopefully il get an answer quickly so i can get it done and put the motor together finally.

thanks
