Can someone tell me what the slotted hole indicated within the red circle on the first photo is, why it’s there, and how’s this case differs from most other cases that I have seen the does not have the hole? Cases in the second photo have no similar hole.

The photo with the coated engine cases is a clip from Jake Raby’s YouTube video “The Tale of Three Cases”. I simply used that clip to show the difference in the specific area in question.
Jake explains why he uses these coatings in the video. Back to the initial question….can anyone shed some light on what this hole is??? |
