The holes don't go into the engine. They only go to the sprocket area which is full of grime anyway.
Here's a look from the sprocket area (with sprocket cover removed). The arrow points to the big drain hole. The small hole above that is for the wire holder. The other small hole is for the sprocket cover bolt.

Okay awesome! Thanks so much! We are pretty new at this and were kinda bummed especially after getting it to crank.
