missing engine bolt?

[commisme]

Gday guys,just popped the hood to check the oil etc,and i noticed for the first time on the engine cover in the middle theres 6bolts but ive only got 5?Is this supposed 2 be like this?! I talked to a mate an he said it could be designed like that for winching the engine in or out.Apparently he said they leave a empty thread so they can screw something in for when u remove the block.IS this true?or do need 2 give my dealer a hooha?thanks alot.

yeh mate, i stressed about it at first. But the alloytechs seem to only have 5 bolts where it looks like 6 should be. Looks weird, but they all look weird. at the end of the day they still look better than the old alloytech 6's.
hehehe
