so you can see the timing marks on the flywheel. You should have a rubber bung in there. 🤓

This is the timing hole as mentioned.

i have tried to put a photo on but no joy if you look at the photo that has been put on by iansoady if you look at the bell housing bolt above the timing hole it is above it in the case behind the cylinder not the bell housing thanks

Could be the oil pressure sensor then as suggested by Al, but as said that’s only 10mm diameter. You need to be careful as the adaptor the sensor screws into also locates the rear camshaft bearing…

it is a hole in the case behind the right cylinder not the hole for the timing marks and it is not in the middle and there is no thread in it and it is not for the oil pressure switch look at the case and it is under the carb inlet area .thanks

On the later big blocks there is a blanked hole where the distributor used to sit, could it be that?

A parts list is always a good thing to turn to on such occasions. They are available in various places, but this one - on the [Fowlersparts.co.uk](http://Fowlersparts.co.uk) site will surely show you what you need to know.

Not a 100% certain, but looks to me like Part #17 in that diag is what your photo shows - GU19017120 : “cover” NLA.
If it’s the right bit, or when you find the right bit, a bit of Googling with a combination of ‘Guzzi’ + ‘GU19017120’ (or variants of that number) might win you a goldfish.

Interestingly, my downloaded parts book (19 92 00 01) doesn’t show or list that part although otherwise the diagram is the same.

I’ve just been out for a (chilly) run on my V50 and checked my bike. There is no plug or hole in that position. Mine is a 1982 engine.
I can only think that what you have is a core plug used to block a hole introduced for some machining operation that is carried out on later bikes than mine.

To have a look at one, now armed with the part number, all you have to do is Google it, then select images. You can pretty much always find what you’re looking for, if you persevere, and when you recognise that a Guzzi part number might be, for example: GU19017120, 19017120, 0019017120, and so on.
