Edelbrock RPM head casting flaw

We managed to get the hole welded up last night and avoided filling the hole to the floor. Water should still flow behind the valve and plug. I figured that I would let my engine builder, finish the blend out as he can monitor the thickness with the sonic tester. We used a 1/16” 5356 filler rod. Finger crossed. Thanks Andrew
