Best Way to Fill Bolt Hole

There is an unused bolt hole on my new magnesium fan housing (3.2 Carrera) that I want to fill before having the housing cerakoted. What the best non-welding solution? Can I just put in a bolt with blue loctite and shear it off flush with the housing? I’m worried that any body filler I use will crack given the heat of the engine. Thx!!!

Lab metal works well. Think you can buy it at caswell plating.

JB Weld is good for temperatures greater than the fan housing would ever get up to.
