97 k1500 burb w 5.7. Has had an intermittent rough start for awhile. Brand new distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs etc. but still will have a rough start if sitting for a while. recently took starter off and on again ( long story). Retorqued starter bolts back on. Today, went to start and one of the bolts straight up snapped. The other one doesn't quite keep it in place. So it would just spin. Played with the other bolt and by some miracle got it to start and drove it home. now the starter is ever so slightly misaligned. Looked at the remaining bolt that's still on and looks a bit bent. Only had this for about a year so i don't really know if these bolts are just the wrong size or if this all is stemming from the hard start putting all the stress on there.
Any advice regarding freeing the broken bolt and preventing this in the future would be appreciated.
