Really?   All of them?   Doesn't sound right.   Ask the supplier of the plate.

I'm finishing the plate between the sump and engine and the I've noticed the sump bolt holes are 8mm diameter for 6mm bolts which is rather large.  Is this to allow for heat expansion?  The standard clearance hole is 6.5mm and I'm wondering if I should use the 8mm hole size in the plate.
