weld it up, or find a piece of metal the right size and epoxy or weld that in its place.  or fabricate an inlet mani with an extra 'bit' that covers the hole? or source a different head? gaffer tape maybe?

 I'm not taking the mickey, they're serious answers - I guess the replies you get when asking how to fill a hole will sound a bit smart-arsey. No doubt someone will pop along and say 'just stick yer finger in there' or something daft… but its only a hole, so just block it up!

Take it easy ; )

fit a GTI head instead, you'll get better performance along with no water hole ;)

block injector holes either by leavign injectors in, remove inserts and drop penny in hole or fit gearbox drain/fill plugs (only fit certain gti heads)  also fit a gti dizzy it'll have better ignition curve than the carby one
