Liquid Aluminum (block filler) to fill holes for head swap?
 
I recently read several threads about the use of liquid aluminum (block filler), and I thought that this could be used to aid in swapping the Prelude B21A1 head onto the Accord A20 block.

The only other person who has ever preformed this swap welded the 3 “extra” holes on the B21A1 head shut, and then had their head shaved to make it smooth again.

Notice the A20 gasket on the B21 head with the 3 holes welded shut.

Assuming these holes can be blocked from the top of the head, could liquid aluminum be used to fill them? I assume that if used properly, this would allow the 3 holes to be closed without the need for shaving the head.

some dude at honda-tech did it by stuffing the holes with rubber hose and seal it with silicon.

Do you remember what swap he was doing when he made the rubber hose with silicon seal? I am having trouble finding information about it on honda-tech.
