Default Starter Bolt Issue!!

Hey All,

Does anyone know the correct part # for the 113mm M10 starter bolts?

I bought the Dorman bolts and they have less thread grip (possibly bottom out) than OEM and are grade 9.8 bolts vs the grade 10.9 GM....

No wonder they are only a couple bucks....

Those Dorman bolts work fine. Are they the ones for like a GM 2.5 4 cyl or whatever. Ran those on a ton of engines. Your block or starter casting will break before that bolt will.

Yeah I know, the steel is a lot stronger than the alum, just want the proper grade (I'm **** like that"...My main concern is the thread grip.
