The important thing about those bolt holes is they are perpendicular to the force being applied by the chain. That way the threads will not get pulled out. Don't forget washers on those bolts either, I have seen a chain sneak through the hole in one of the chains links before, bummer when that guy smashed his brand new oil pan on the crossmember. Shove shop rags between the chains and where they lay up on the motor to avoid scratches.
