Hi,
As I was chasing a vacuum leak I found a seemingly important hole without a bolt? Is this be design? The bottom hole is where the ground wires are attached - the hole above will assist in holding the Engine Together, could it hurt to add one there??????   |

None of the 5 engines I've owned had a bolt there and it always bugged me. The PET doesn't show one there either. I just installed a CSP carb linkage bracket which uses that hole, and the one below for mounts. It doesn't bug me anymore. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
