    Can you guys check your engine bay

    I have a ‘22 trd off road v6 AT DCSB

    Near the oil fill cap (under it) there seems to be a bolt missing. Can you guys check yours and tell me if you have the same? Pics/year, trim, and engine would be awesome.

    Just over 5k miles on my truck

    Another near the back as well

    I’m assuming yours is the same or it’s normal for nothing to be there, what are they for anyway then?

    my 2016 is the same, looks like it is there for something to attach or hold down at that point, most likely not applicable for this truck.

    A bracket for lifting the engine into the frame? Maybe remove them and use them on the next batch of engines going into trucks?

    Not for lifting the engine from the plastic valve cover :)

    Most likely what its for is a ball socked for the engine covers on a camry

    The one in back is normal. Which is convenient so there’s a good place to mount a catch can

    What I’m getting is there’s nothing actually missing from my vehicle, so that’s a relief. Thanks guys

    That engine is use in multiple different vehicles. Some use those bolt holes for accessories, some don't.
