Hey so it seems rather common for our idi's to develop the occasional starter/ring gear grind; I believe its due to the fact that our engines seem to stop in the same 3 positions and wear occurs mostly in those areas. Anyways, I put in a new clutch, flywheel and ring gear last year and its already starting to develop a grinding issue. Its drives me crazy I recall a post a long time ago related to a certain type of starter that engages slightly further/deeper and helped curb that grinding issue. Does anyone recall that or know what type of starter to use? Can a regular starter be ground down a but around the mounting flange to sit a little tighter with the bellhousing? I have a number of good starters around but they are just normal (direct drive) starters and I would like to experiment with one of them instead of buying a new one
