Is this a hole in the block
(5.7l Hemi / 2004 Ram 1500) I have a dumb question, but is this a big hole in the block or is it machined this way? This is my brother's truck which had zero oil in it & refuses to turn over - wanted to confirm that this wasn't made that way before I tell him he'll need a new motor. Hole is right behind the power steering pump. Thanks

Yea its not supposed to be there, assuming you drained then pan when saying theres no oil in it. Could watch for junks coming out otherwise. I would find it weird to lose all its oil out the hole, its so clean and its above everything, unless it opened an oil galley and pumped it out, but it still seems really clean
I think that hole is to far forward for a rod, I would more wonder if the timing chain broke and got all bound up and popped the whole.
