pre heat the block before it's welded. expect deck/bore/line hone after.

Kinda hard to see what that passage is, but with a decent welder you should be able to get it all plugged up, withough even tearing it down. There is enough metal there that who ever does it shouldnt heat soak the block, thus warping it. But as for "keeping the car", if you sold it that way, just let your customer know about it. But if repaired properly, it shouldn't even be mentionable.

Change the oil a couple of times after you tap and plug. Just in case you get any shavings in there.

might be worth some extra insurance to put some solid tack welds on that bolt just incase the thread locker doesn't hold up...so long as you used the same material for the bolt as what the block is made of
