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.

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....

Just took the above quote as it was the simplest :lol
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 :thumbup
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
