What color loctite has everyone used to lock in the bolts.
This is some feed back on bolt issues with Denso.
I used plenty of loctite. Never could get the thing to stay in. Eventually stripped one hole completely and before I could fix it the other stripped. I was on a trip to north Texas when it happened and used coat hangers, nails, a ratcheting strap and a split piece of fire wood to hold the starter on to get me home.

Did you consider using lock tight on the bolts?

Since the Denso is much larger(heavier) then the factory it might need some support on the large side.

Is it possiable to put metal stapping on the larger side with a threaded rod attached to metal straping and a support on the engine with a coupler between the threaded rods to tighten up,supporting the larger side.

I don't have the Deso yet(spring time).

It is 0 degrees were I live so I haven't had the chance to look under my truck to see if a support can be tied into the starter to engine
