Am I missing engine block bolts?

A&Q about Lotus

Q:
Had 1k mile service done recently, and I noticed a couple of bolts missing. I can't remember if they were there before the service.

Anyone missing theirs as well? Yellow arrows point to holes. Maybe the techs 'borrowed' them? I can't imagine threaded holes in the block like this with no mate.

OMG! It's a bolt pulling conspiracy and they got mine too!

It looks like those bolts are for securing the engine covers in Toyota applications. Dont' sweat it.

Exactly... don't worry about it. Toyota had some other use for it.
