I'm getting ready to do my Magnum swap and I decided to use my V belt set up so I installed my early timing cover and when I did I cracked the left front lower bolt hole where the oil pan bolts through . The bolt is tight but should I be concerned about an oil leak ?

Of course, unless you did something to make it not a concern.
What surface cracked?
 
Why did it crack, was it not sitting flat? Gasket out of place? Some old gasket left on the surfaces?
 
Hopefully this pic will explain what I'm talking about
