losing coolant

I check the headers to see how hot they were . They were all in the 600 range except # 8 it was 279 degree. It so happens #8 has a sleave in it
right there. is where the problem is. As said rent the coolant pump & get it hot & pump it up to 15 lbs & let it set & check after several minutes then after an hour then overnight if needed but I believe you will need to go into it/pulling the head.
