Wicked! What flavor? I heard that the pine scented ones increase horsepower by 20% and make your car's interior and exhaust smell like a forest!

The top bolt that mounts the starter to the engine block is a threaded stud with a fixed bolt about 3/4 of the way up. The reason for this is so you can mount the starter then put a ring terminal for a ground wire on the remaining stud and put a nut on it.

can you not put the ring terminal around the bolt?

Then you should've have as good of a thread in for the starter and with all that torque right there from the starter you're gonna want all the stability you can get.

I've found out the hard way that rigging a starter is begging for disaster.

the whole reason i ask is that i used a longer bolt and slid the ring conenctor on that way way, then used loctite and a lock washer to snug it up. i haven't had any problems out of that setup yet...

you have me paranoid now

I cracked my last starter that way. I didn't notice any problems with it until I went to take it out to swap engines and noticed it was in two pieces where the bolt goes through.
