Default Flywheel Replacement

So I removed my clutch, flywheel, and bell housing. The teeth on the flywheel are buggered up a bit. Do you think I should find a replacement? Rockauto shows a replacement from AMS AUTOMOTIVE 167654. Not sure if this is correct though. Here is the damage. Thoughts?

I have a spare one and will check it to compare teeth. I think yours is pretty bad. Is it evenly chewed all around? Do you think the starter pinion did that or a bolt that came out of bell housing and rubbed? Because it seems only on the edge, but I can't really tell.

Thanks Ken. Its not all the way around, maybe 1/3 chewed up. Only on the starter side, so I assume that is what caused it. I guess I should consider a new starter too.

Amazon has them almost as cheap. Maybe cheaper if you have prime. Calculate both with ship. I would buy Amazon before Rockauto. I don't like them anymore. That's another story.
What do you mean "only on the starter side"? Meaning starter not engaging far enough you think? I guess motors stop in about the same places so that's why it's only 1/3 of diameter. F/W's are pretty cheap so that's good. Starters may be hard to find but a new starter drive (I call Bendix) is available for your starter at Amazon also.

Don't need new starter if pinion not worn. They are not easy to find anyway. What do you mean "only on the starter side"? Meaning starter not engaging far enough you think? In that case should be equal wear/damage all around? (People say motors stop in same position) Anyway maybe a new bendix is available.
Yeah, the closer I look at that AMS AUTOMOTIVE 167654 flywheel, the more I think it is not the right one. The center bore is way too big and would require a much larger pilot bearing. I might give AMS a call tomorrow to confirm. Sorry, the damage is only on the engine side of the flywheel, but not the entire circumference.

The hole in F/W slip over a guide diameter, right? The pilot is in the crank end.

Hmmm, not mine. The pilot bearing is seated in the center of the flywheel.

you are correct I just went out and checked my spare. Amazon has 167654 listed also. Picture shows same big hole. Wrong pic or vendor does not know what he/she is doing.

Yes, I went to the AMS site, and it specifically states 167654 is for GMC 305 V6? Wrong pic though. Very suspect. http://www.showmetheparts.com/ams/
I call tomorrow. If they are wrong, I'll let them have it.

I wrote to RockAuto and told them to confirm vendor has wrong pic. I told them several members of my "Club" are going elsewhere. Afraid to order and have to send back.

I think the bigger V6's have a big hole.
