The bricklayer who's tearing down and re-building my fireplace chimney
has a problem.
His work truck is a 1986 Chev Silverado 2 WD with a 454 motor.
He has put three starters on in the last 6 months and the current one
is failing.
Seems this motor isn't being made now and the locally supplied
starters aren't heavy enough ... they keep getting chewed up. This
truck is originaly from the States and that may be another reason why
the proper part is hard to get. Any advice?

Is he shimming it correctly?

If it is not shimmed right the gear jams in the flywheel and burns up
the starter.He could also have a (ring gear?) chewed up on the
flywheel. Old style
Starters should be a dime a dozen for that engine.

Greg nailed it... Oh and nice try spelling "originally" Bonnie. Aren't
you the group spelling Ferret? Could you be any more of an idiot? I
doubt it... snerk

I hear there's a new show on which you can earn a few bucks as a
contestant, snotty.
