Is this block ok?
Is this block ok? I took some pics. Engine spun a bearing which i think can be line bored out, then run an oversized bearing. I have attached pic, does this cap look ok?
However i was noticing in the head bolt where the dowl goes at the back of the block, there is this hole. It looks like possibly the machining for the tranny bolt (which is the hole i'm using on the engine stand) got into the head bolt area. Is this okay? is it gonna leak coolant or have issues?
Reason i ask is this cylinder also had coolant in the cylinder.

I can't see the pics but I can tell you that it's normal for the transmission bolt hole to intersect the head bolt hole. The head bolts do not go into the water jacket so this is not an issue.
I did up load the pics and it showed them as uploaded. tried it several times and never worked. oh well...
