Default Replacement Head Extra Bolt Hole?

So I swapped out the head on my 2001 4.0L Cherokee. It fell victim to the 0331 curse. Anyway, after rebuilding the entire thing I failed to notice this extra bolt hole next to the #14 head bolt. Does anyone know what would go in here? I feel like it wasn't present on the original head so I am not sure what is going on.

Thanks,
Tom

I believe that may be where you put a temp sensor for 95 and older engines

Yep, that's it alright. Funny that's there, I thought 00 and 01 heads were not compatible with earlier being that the ports are different.

Anyway I believe it's NPT Pipe thread, you can get a plug at any hardware store. OR NTP? Threads seal with taper, no washer. Use Teflon tape or rectum-seal or something.
