Tore down my old 6.2 tonight for a rebuilding project. It had a blown head gasket and exhaust came out through the cooling system. First off, I noticed that on one side all the pistons were darker than the other. One of those piston looked like is had calcium deposits on its face. It came off with a wire brush. What that the one leaking? While cleaning up the headbolt holes, two of the thin holes that go into the water jacket are thrashed. What should those be repaired with? Should I use a helicoil since it has water on one side and pressure on the other? There has to be something better. Thanks in advance
