Hey All, not an expert with ecoboosts and was just doing a routine spark plug change today when I noticed what appear to be two missing bolts?

They’re between the oil filler tube and dipstick on the driver side cylinder head area.

No idea if I’m missing a bracket or something? I’m the 2nd owner of the truck and not sure if maybe Ford service forgot a couple pieces a while back ‍♂️

Hopefully it’s nothing. Any help appreciated!

Update. A friend told me these may be the mount points for when they hoist the engine into place from the factory?

Agreed. However, bracket attached to this location appears to be missing. 2019 original owner unmolested (dirty) engine:

Thank you for posting! Looks like a lift point bracket for sure. Guess they just decided mine didn't need them anymore!
