Mystery hole ;)
Hi everyone,
Preparing everything for assembly after a valve job, I wonder what's connected to the hole under plastic timing belt cover? Pics of your motor welcome! Thanks. Miguel

maybe in the factory they screw in a towing eye so the engine can be lifted?

My guess; For testing oil pressure during development. Or it's a drilling, to make a channel deeper in the head, plugged afterwards.

Made my mind... will make a thread on that hole (G3/8) and install a blind plug!

Most of the cars I have owned have had lifting eyes bolted to the exhaust or inlet manifold on the head. And some of those are ally heads.
