It will eat your fly-wheel if given enough time - leading to an even bigger shop bill if you do not have a hoist to get that motor out and replace a toothless fly-wheel.
Thanks for the reply, the new starter came with shims, acually I didn't realize what they were, I'll take your advice and check the alignment aout and maybe add a shim at a time.

Thanks for the advice, and yea we'll do it right away don't need a shop bill.
