Hole appeared, SORTED NOW!

[sinto]

Just noticed this as I was pulling the bike out to go to work this morning

I'm now a bit worried it's the start of something bigger

Bikes not losing power, if it is I'm not really noticing it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Added another pic for better vision/location.

Can't really tell whereabouts that is Colin.
I take it there's nothing leaking from it? Coolant or combustion gasses or oil?

That's a strange place for a hole to develop. Is it from an impact? If it's just a hole and there's nothing damaged in the engine you could probably get it ali welded

Added another pic for vision/location of hole, up from fins directly in line with rubbers.
There seems to be dimples at the same location on all the rubbers but none have holes except this one.
Couldn't be a stone or anything kicked upto it as it's on the back of the block.

What the what?

is it 100% a hole i.e. can you poke something into it, even a little way, i will go get some pics of the cylinder head i have in the garage on the desk, from what i see, its going to be exposing potentially the path a valve stem travels or maybe the springs/buckets, if it have breached the integrity of the top of the head, i would expect you would have oil every where....

Paint flaked off leaving the appearance of a hole?

Just took the above quote as it was the simplest

Its deffinetly NOT a hole.....
Put tissue up against it then I decided as suggested, scrape the paint off and voila, it's just paint flake
Phew, panic over
I just maybe jumped the gun but never thought it was bits of paint tbh, I feared the worse. So I can relax now with a couple of beers and contemplate how I go about painting the whole block

Thanks for all your input
