Only thing I can think of is that the machine shop pulled the freeze plugs and didn't put the new ones in...

I dont have pics... But they look like they should be for bolts. They dont have any threads. They are next to the intake mani runners. Closer to the driver side. One is a little bit higher up then the other.

Well I just looked on my car, and if the holes you are talking about are like right under the throttle body area, and next to the intake runner, both holes sort of diagonal from each other, then both of those holes on my car have threaded cap screw plugs in them. You will have to find the right plugs somewhere, possibly the dealer, or just go to a hardware store and look for allen head cap screws of the right size. Unfortunately, I dont know the size..I'd also use teflon paste on the threads to seal it up..

Here is a pic, only good one i could find. Its the upper left hand corner of the head right?? Those two holes? Cap plugs on mine here:

I "think" those are NPT threaded plugs. If so, shoul;dn't be hard at all to find.

First place I would look is the machine shop that did you head, because they should be free from them...
