Starter Gear

[Douglas Morris <dcmdcm@earthlink.net>]

I just replaced the ring gear (from straight-cut to beveled) which had a
couple of short chewed-up sections and occasionally ground its teeth on
startup (125+Kmi). The gear on the starter has general wear and a few dings.
- Question 1: Should I try to smooth-out (smoothen?) the starter gear or
just leave it to adapt itself to the new ring gear?
- Question 2: If smoothing is recommended, what's the best method?
