Starter/Flywheel Damage - Help Need Advice

[ERA Chas]

The OE starter is a 16 pound turd. Here's my IMI hi-torque-8 pounds and bulletproof. Robb's is beautiful but too much $$.
What you'll see;

Good time to send the flywheel out for a .005" or more cut. Mount the block plate, then the f'wheel. Bolt starter into it's nest. Hand test the mesh and shim if needed. This was perfect.
See the scissors under the pan? Use a wood block between.

Well what do you want for $50? Maybe he should just replace his flywheel with a light new aluminum one considering he's broken some teeth off the old one, huh?

No, a ring gear pressed on is all he'd need and probably a cut.
Don't want him spendin' $800 for a f'wheel like you did...

But look how much I saved on my starter.
