Default Do I Need this Bolt

I was finishing up the timing chain replacement and the addition of the missing pieces that the previous owner considered optional. I noticed in the torque spec sheet I had that there was a spec for the timing cover to intake bolt. It took a few minutes to figure out where it goes and that I did not have one. The threads in the intake look to be in good shape and there were no leeks when I bought the car. Is this a common bolt to leave out? I hate to torque bolts into aluminum and would rather machine a stud for this if it should be there. Could anyone advise the proper size and length?


Thanks
