My son's 1990 Ranger with 2.9L started running real rough. I noticed coolant coming from the tailpipe. I assumed cracked head. When we tore the engine down, we found no damage to the heads at all. There was coolant in the oil, and coolant on top of the driver side pistons. But no noticable cracks or warping to the heads. So I thought we got lucky and just had a blown gasket.
That is, untill we started degreasing everything and getting a better look at the block. That's when I noticed an irregular hole at the back of the lifter valley, to the right of the distributor.

My question... Is that hole supposed to be there? Or, is the block shot?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
