Dan,

No they machined the starter mounting plate moving the bendix towards the flywheel, but they went too far. The bendix will now hit the flywheel and not come out. Thus they went to far, likely by .045. The machine shop email me and said they would fix it, but we shall see. I am not paying them another dime to do it.

I have two starters. A new Robb MC starter and a Dynaforce. The machine shop was playing with the starter frame for the Robb Mc starter. I am goign to screw with the Dynaforce. It takes a lot of time to align the bellhousing while the engine is in the car and I am the only one doing it, (i.e. put the bellhousing on, set the dial indicator to zero at 12 o'clock. Get out and turn crank to 9 o'clock, take reading, Get out and turn to 6 and so on. Ugh.)

Phil
