through further analysis, I found that for some reason some of the teeth on my starter plate is grinding with the teeth on the starter. Why? I am not even sure. There is no way for the starter plate to be out of place since there are 8 freaken bolts to make sure that motherfucker is lined up. Now I might even need a new starter plate or starter. There is only 1 portion of the starter plate that is grinding with the starter, though other parts are slightly filed down, but doesn't make any noise like that 1 particiular part. Any more info is welcome right now since I want to get this motherfucker on the road by monday evening. Someone out there must have an answer this is the first post of anything like this happening.
