Yes, according to my manual, the 4cyl uses two M10 bolts located top and bottom, and the recommended tightening torque is 37ft-lb. The wire to terminal 50 (M6) should be 53in-lb, and the wire to terminal 30 (M8) should be 9ft-lb.

Here'a a shot in the dark- when you replaced it, did you check the starter pinion gear and flywheel teeth for damage?
