My first thought was a timing cover plug...

Neat thread!

That my friend is a muffler bearing.

Pre or post canueter valve?

Pre. Just before the metal stretcher had its way with it.

Then you'll need a left handed oscillating screwdriver to reinstall the bearing. You don't want to wing it on muffler bearings or it will throw off you exhaust harmonics leading to resonating backflow that can fracture the flux capacitor. If that happens you may need to rebuild your neighbor's VCR to bring things back in phase.

Not to mention the risk of damaging the turbo encabulator... It's discontinued, and all the ones in the junkyard are usually shot.
