Tensioner top bolt

Having had the tensioner top bolt failed in each of my 94 cs, I am paying more attention to it now I have the 94cde engine on the stand. I found the stock 2 7/8" long M8x1.25 bolt has longer thread than needed to fully engage. The threaded part is almost 2" long. Only about an inch of thread is needed actually. So the black replacement I bought from a local parts store will fit nicely. Not only that the shank diameter for the stock is only 7mm. The shank of the replacement I got is 8mm.
So if the beefier bolt holds, the question now is if the mounting hole cast into the timing cover becomes the weak link?
