Default 1990 accord lx-hole in engine block?

I was adding oil to my gf's accord when I noticed that the block had a square hole in it, I could see directly into the engine..

The hole is directly to the left of the exhaust manifold.

should I be worried? should I look for the plug? do you guys know which plug I'm talking about?

does it look like something bolts up in that hole?

not my picture, but if you look to the left of the exhaust mani, and to the right of the upper radiator hose you can see it.


better picture, again not mine. in between the nice tuby exhaust header and the upper radiator hose their is a blk plug.. it seems as though my gf's accord is missing this.

It's your flywheel inspection window, I'd get a stock plug but no biggie if you don't.

should get a cover and install it so that crap does not get up in there.
