I have a question concerning the casting for the rocker arm bolts in the runners of the lt1 heads.
Can I smooth those out and if I were to poke through and reach the threaded hole for the rocker stud would this cause an issue.
For example, I have this going on.........

And was wondering if I could do this...................

I am thinking a thread sealant on the rocker studs would stop any vacuum leaks, but I am just looking for some second opinions
