Henry made a mistake when he designed the installation of the starter ring gear. He placed the stop on the wrong side. The gear on the end of the starter wants to pull the ring gear away from the stop. If it is not on there tight it will do it.

Boy, have I ever copped flack for saying things like that. Some here won’t have it that everything Henry did was any less than 100%. It amazes me that even after making what was it, some 5million of these cars he didn’t catch onto his mistake here.
