Cast iron can be cracked and not leak when pressure tested at room temp.

Like chip said just air at room temp may not show, been there had that happen. You may want to do add hot water to the test!

Here is what I made to find a 'hot only' leak on a complete engine. I'm sure you can do something similar with the empty block after a little thought.

I had a cylinder in a 360 block that looked like yours, but couldn't see the problem. I ended up putting some water in the block and took a propane torch to the rust area and low and behold it started blowing steam as there was a pinhole in the cylinder wall

If that didn't show anything, then I'd try something a little more complex like the pictures w/ the copper worm.
