It's the cast hole for..... call it equalizing.... pressures, liquids, fingers etc. One side is smooth because the face is machined after the block is cast.

When I removed the
timing gear and chain I found a hole that passes
completely through the block, from the smooth machined
side behind the chain to the inside. I've taken a picture available at

Is this normal and functional, or do I have a flawed
or damaged block?

Thanks,
