Any Pontiac guys on here? Need insight.

Starter Bendix not disengaging from the flywheel.

Sounds like it at the sudden stop sound at the end of the video.

Those GM starters need to be shimmed out away from the flywheel so things don't bind. He probably did not shim it after building the engine.

Bind, like as in an odd engine noise that nobody can figure out.
