Re: Ford Guys...
is there a TON of compression? will it kick back on the starter hard enough to break the housing? i mean , that's pretty thick aluminum....
does the motor have any vibrations? could the fw be bent?
other than that man, i'd almost want to blame it on a manuf. defect in the starter. if everything came from one ford to another - it should all work the same

No vibrations, 2nd flywheel...
It broke the XS start by the adjusting bolts. Worked fine before than. 12 to 1 comp, seems to spin fine but does have some kick back. Think a shim would help?

Re: Ford Guys...
what kind of timing are you running? i've broke the shit out of some on BBC's with a fixed advance dist. having too much advance on start. a crank retarder was needed to fix that one.

Re: Ford Guys...
but hell, for the cost of a shim vs. cost of a starter - why not

Re: Ford Guys...
my father in law has had the same issue on his truck to come to find out it was the wrong starter for the fly wheel I think his was a 162teeth flywheel and he was using the starter for the 157 teeth flywheel
