The easiest way to fill these holes is extremely simple ... strip the area, use a brass hammer on one side of the hole and then use a MIG machine to tack weld the hole shut. The MIG filler will not stick to the brass hammer, but will bridge the gap and fill the hole. Simple to do and Maverick is right ... no better time than when the engine is on the garage floor.
