correct. And the issue does not exist with the new style starter aka the 'truck starter' on the LS motors, since it changes how the torque is applied to the flywheel/starter/block
had I known about the issue originally, and replaced the original starter with the truck style starter, it never would have broke int he first place.
My problem came from the original starter cracking the far mounting point on the block, and then being welded back together.
Either way, as soon as it broke the block the first time I was living on borrowed time.
