When the head & block are either skimmed on a grinder or hand done.are all the water corrosion marks removed.
because if any black marks remain they are porous. one solution is to bore out and weld in plugs which are then redrilled.
just a thought

I've used a similar approach on a head without catastrophe so far. The water passages were slowly 'growing' at the gasket face so they were over-bored, threaded, plugs screwed in (with Loctite) then re drilled. The whole thing given a light skim after to ensure flatness.
