    a little help needed here, I was doing the oil mods on my 430 and I didn’t notice I broke through the outside wall of the block. Can this be repaired take a look at the pictures and let me know thanks in advance.

    Yes that can be fixed with tubing and some epoxy.

    Yep, what Derek said!
    I did that same thing years ago doing a timing cover, same procedure as Derek said, worked great.
    The upside to what happened to you is that passage is a suction passage, its not under 60/80 psi of oil pressure.
    The thing that's always had me puzzled about doing that, is I would think the drill would follow the cast in passage very easily, and not wander off, unless the passage was cockeyed to begin witho_O
