The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Starter not quite up to the task after rebuild

If you can barely turn it over with the crank, It is too tight. I just worked on one that had one rod at less than .0005" and it was too much for the starter. It had just been rebuilt by a big name rebuilder. One shim solved the problem.
