bigger picture chap ?
it looks like a blanking plug for the oil gallery.
don't know why it wont go back in unless it was staked in to start with and it needs a tap running down the thread to clean it up before
replacing the plug
cheers

Oil gallery plug??
in red circle just above insert for thermo housing
Its the end of the oilway that feeds the exhaust camshaft bearings.Maybe the threads are damaged , i would remove it completely and check threads in
the head are not crossthreaded, if they are you will need to retap it and clean out the oilways
