Since everyone else is jumping in here, I might as well.

As I understand it, the motor came back and was installed and running right. The issue now is the starter is eating flywheels.

That shouldn't happen if the starter is aligned and shimmed correctly. The mechanic who is working on this should know how to check for proper starter clearance and alignment. My guess it the teeth are not coming into full contact.

While I may not have all the facts, it seems your problem lies with your mechanic at this point. I would want to know what steps he has or will be taking to ensure the third one is the charm.

I tend to agree with Mulv, you need to have a mechanic that knows what he is doing or get one who does.

Just my two cents, get three more and you'll have a nickel.
