a friend of mine had the same thing happen to him. it was the ring gear on the flywheel that was trying to come off. it was hitting the starter bolts.

Now when the starter acts up I just take out the big hammer.The ring gear needs pinning to the flywheel someday. Last edited by ian Simpson; 11-25-2015 at 09:55 PM. Reason: Spelling correction. |

Most ring gears are installed by heating the ring gear. When hot install on the flywheel; it will shrink and should never come loose.
