These are all coolant passages right?

    These rectangular holes are all coolant passages, and none are air, right? 3 on each side. I'm rinsing them out the block drain by pouring a little water in each of these after cleaning (pic is before cleaning).

    The intake manifold blocks off the rearmost passenger side hole, so maybe I'll leave that one alone? I don't remember if there were signs of coolant in it, but in maintenance videos it sure looks like there's evidence of coolant running into the blocked off port too.
