Starter shims

Yep. Touching. Not by much.
The flywheel is a brand new Centerforce. Looked good upon install.
The starter worked last fall with the old motor.

I'm thinkin' the ring gear is installed slightly forward on the C-force flywheel as opposed to the factory wheel. I meant to check it today, but ran into way worse issues....

Quicktime's QC is unknown to me too. I can tell you that thing was almost perfect as far as concentricity to the engine.

I plan to order a new starter and see how fit is from there. If it's the same I guess I'll make a .050 shim from sheet metal.
