    Hey guys after hearing a mad whining noise at high revs and clunking at low revs plus electrical problems, I've found that my lower starter motor bolt has fallen out รท0
    Does anyone know the size of this bolt?

    Cheers in advance
    Sean

    I hear they strip the threads out of the bellhousing
    If thats the case then you will need a helicoil also to repair the bellhousing
    Easy job if you have a helicoil kit or can borrow one

    If you're lucky it wont have stripped yet but make sure you use a lock washer and resist the urge to overtighten it when you you put it in, the bellhousing is only cast aluminium so its pretty easy to pull the thread out.
