yours was the only one i've heard of using factory bolts.
this problem is pretty common with standard hardware store grade 8 bolts.
What are the 6.2’s most common problems and their solutions?

This does sound like a problem not common enough to worry about. However, a lesson has been learned and I will make sure I use the correct bolts If I ever have a need to remove my flywheel.

I had a 6.2 do this and I made a front nose mount and also made an aluminum block that fit real snug between the starter and the pan and it went from sounding like a meat grinder to a perfect match and has been that way for over a year now. once a starter has messed up the flywheel your screwed, I always shim the starter using the correct gauge and utilize the nose bracket on these motors as well as BB chevy motors.

I hate dealing with shims. Is that somehting I have to get use to owning a Chevy now?
no. not yet.
the late model 6.5 starter has a warning cast into the nose housing stating "no shims".
On the 6.2/6.5 it is critical the support is used to secure the far end of the starter to the block. That keeps the nose from walking around and breaking.
