worse case with crank case cover?

If indeed I tighten the screws too much on the crankcase cover when replacing the tensioner, what are the possible problems? Do i need to order new bolts or am I just screwed?

If you strip out the threads in the case you will need to tap new threads. I don't know if they make a "case saver" insert that small. Either way you're looking at some machine shop work. There's other folks here who know machine shop stuff pretty dang good... They'll probably know a real answer.

If they're not completely stripped out in the case, sometimes you can run a tap the correct size and just kind of dress up the threads, but you REALLY have to be careful to not overtighten again. They WILL strip out.
If the bolt isn't spinning in the hole, you still have threads. Try to keep 'em. As the "Famous Dave" keeps posting: 1/4" ratchet, two fingers on the wrench, seat the bolt and go slow, FEEL the bolt, use the Force...

What's the real problem?...
If you didn't strip the aluminum case,... you couldn't have stripped the steel bolts... could you?...
Why new bolts?...
Tighten holding the head of the ratchet, not the handle... and use wrist only... no arm power....
That's the safe way to tighten any bolts that go into aluminum threads...
It's not a law or anything...
