Putting the engine back together. Have the flywheel torqued on the crank and
when I present the starter it does not look like the starter gear (bendix?)
will engage the flywheel gear all the way when spinning. What should the
distance be from the face of the flywheel to the back plate? Is mine too far
out?
Seamed to fit well against the crank and the bolts are all torques as per
manual.
Should the ring gear fit flush against the back flange on the flywheel? Mine
has a small (1/8") gap that looks somewhat uneven around the circumference.
I had the flywheel resurfaced, maybe the machine shop pulled off the ring
gear and did not install back correctly.
How does one go about seating it against the flange lip if that is where it
should go? I took a hammer and punch to the ring gear side, did not budge.
Can't find anything in the manuals.
Thanks,
Lou
