That's exactly what my concern would be - I just don't know exactly how the leak stop stuff works. I assume it relies on a water pump to mix it throughout the coolant.
I suppose one thing you could try- and this COULD be a total waste of time - but it sounds sensible to me...
but you could drain the system, pre-mix the bars leak stop stuff into some water/coolant, then add it to into the block. - put it in gallon jugs, shake it up real good and get it suspended - then dump it in. Keep doing that till you're full.
Just a thought.
Been a while since I used jbweld, having a hard time remembering how thick it is. If it's kind of clay like, you could always use 5 minute expoxy (metal kind) instead - I know that's real runny when you first mix it up. Should be able to press that into a tiny hole - at least well enough to seal it. And I might leave a very thin layer covering the area if you can make it look neat.
I'd scuff the area up first with a little 2" sanding disk in a die grinder type of thing. (but I too would be worried about opening the whole too much - just get it to bare metal)
At least with the jbweld/epoxy you've really got nothing to lose. If it doesn't work and you need to weld it, it's all going to have to be ground down a little more drastically anyways.

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
