Its not a hole... its an inspection port.

I just got this, a 66 K30. it ran beautifully for 2 weeks then... one day coming down a hill in low range in first gear I put the clutch in because it would roll faster than when in gear so to speak. at the bottom of the hill I let the clutch out. and ....it let the cam out.

the head was a 194 head, the piston bent both valves and destroyed the head, the oil pan has a viewing port in it as well.

absolute stoopidy on my part

I am a bit of a fan when it comes to six's, this one will be sorely missed.
