So since I've installed the Kim Barr 383 in May of 2011,I've had nothing but pure hell with starters. I've had a shop(Midas) break the nose off 2 Autozone starters and with the mini starters,I've been getting a nasty bite/grind. I've shimmed it many times on the block and just recently I've stopped the biting and loud starting simply because there are now shims installed on the starter itself. Its quiet now and sounds normal but now it seems like I'm not getting the starter to even hit the FLEXPLATE. Saturday,it started smooth with 2 shims between the starter and the block and after running it a few times and cranking it about 10 times,its not engaging at all.
What could be wrong? Should I remove the two shims between the block and starter?
Right now,I have a total of 4 shims on this starter. 2 between the block and the mounting plate and 2 oval shaped ones on the starter itself. What's going on?
THERE ARE NO MISSING TEETH ONE THE FLEXPLATE AND NO DAMAGE ON THE STARTER GEAR.
