A picture would be nice.

Maybe it is the tensioner support bracket bolt. Is there a spring next to it? Is this a Cooper or an S? Is it on the block or the head?

It is right next to the spring. It's a s model it looks like it's in the block . It's a hex key. I have no way of getting a Allen in there so I was wondering if its something important
