That's the sensor for the water temp GUAGE. I believe the hole size is 9/16.

I clearly remember on my trickflow heads I had to step down from a 1/2 hole to something smaller. The 1/2 was what was machined in the head, but the sensor was a lot smaller so I had to get an adapter bushing. Guess it must be 3/8 although that seems too small.
