I agree with the others on the cause. The arrowed casting boss is the source of the domed chip. Feel in the hole to determine if there is a bolt occupying it. Do this from the inside with a piece of stiff wire, or a good light and better angle. If there is, clean and apply a modest layer of RTV. Let cure and put it all back together. If there is no bolt I would use a small wire brush (3/8" bottle style brush and clean the threads very well (from inside). Then I would run a tap into the hole from the inside to assure it is clean. Then I would take a correctly sized socket head setscrew (about 1/2" long) and use a dremel cutoff grinder wheel to make a screw driver slot in the end opposite the hex socket. I would put #2 non hardening permatex on the threads of the setscrew, and screw it into the hole backwards (hex head first) and tighten it with the screw driver slot. Now you are done. The next person needing the use of that hole will find a convienient way to remove it from the outside. JimN
