Re: missing bolt?

I would think that if a bolt was missing it would leak something....
Heres a pic, maybe You can explain where it is located better by looking this.


And Welcome to AF !

Re: missing bolt?

Could be the oil tube mount but thats a nut on a stud.

the red and green are just as they are in that pic with nothing in them.

If its between the spark plugs, thats a head bolt!
Better hope its not missing one, could warp the head.

If you still arent for sure, take the thing back to the shop that done the work and ask them nicely If they forgot something.

Re: missing bolt?

ok the hole is on the same level as the bracket on the left and the dipstick bracket on the right this vacant hole is in between these two brackets just to the side of the injector. the head bolts are larger and lower

Re: missing bolt?

pretty sure the blu arrow should hav a stud in it that holds the dip stick tube, the other two are usually empty.
