have you tried to removing the dowl pins for the bell housing to aline the starter first?




I'm not falling for that one.

Maybe if you quit whistling you could fix your problem......Word of advice. You cant expect what you dont inspect. Something is wrong and you have to be overlooking something. Thats a lot of starters to go through.



I don't need your sarcasm. It started off as a simple question on whether there was anything more I needed to know (I did my due diligence FIRST by Googling and searching). The thread took on a life of it's own. I've replaced more starters than you've changed underwear. I'm not worried about figuring out what happened here.
