Default lq9 block, missing hole for j bracket mount

is this a major issue? im running the sdce tensioner with the oil pan brace but im not real keen on the idea of missing a mounting bolt on that bracket, I looked into drilling and tapping but it looks like Ill be tapping right into #1 cylinder.

Most have drilled and tapped there should be a boss there for you to drill and tap.

Yep that's exactly what I did when I had the SDCE setup.
