if you look down the opening with a small light/mirror can you see inside the engine? is there oil splattered around the opening?

Its hard to know what "HOLE" you are referring to? You should be able to tell a cast or machined hole from a engine destoying hole. If its a "punched out" hole and you can see into the engine, the engine is trashed. You may be able to find a good used engine from a salvage yard.
