They are through bolts. So the bolts are the same diameter/size as the whole to the starter ears. Which is weird. Since the previous owners through bolted the bottom and I did the top after breaking/stripping the threads.Most likely not with the bolts being tight, You mentioned you went over them again and made sure, unless the starter housing is made of inferior materials, less than OEM specs strength.
The first through bolt on the bottom and the retreated bolt on the stop were smaller that the ears.
Youd thing they either be the same size or bigger. I did tighten the piss out of them. Like to the point its like breaking loctite red
