I would think yes. It isnt something i would risk.
Have you spoken with a shop or anything? They may be able to weld a peice or fill it in and then re drill and tap.

If your talking about the area circled, no there will not be any problems. You still have two bolts for the dizzy still.

If you want get a longer bolt with a washer and a nut. But just having two bolts will not give you any problems.

If its the cam guide then you better call houston and tell them you have a problem.
