08 Civic - Is my engine missing two bolts?
Hi guys, when I check my bake pads, I saw that my engine is missing two bolts. I uploaded the video to you tube so you can see what I'm talking about. Here's the link:

I'm not sure if the bolts are supposed to be there or that's how the engine was design. Because the gap between the engine and bracket is too big that's why I think might be that's how it is. But like I said I'm not sure, please let me know if your engine look the same. Thanks.

You should be fine. I do beleive that is normal. Your not missing any bolts. I have seen this on other cars as well.
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

You are not missing anything. The oil pan holes are empty, the bracket on the subframe does not attach to anything. All the cars are like this.
