Re: starter shims
If the starter drive gear stays engaged to the flywheel ring gear that is an alignment issue and the only way I can see the need to move the starter gear away from the ring gear would be to slightly oblong the mounting holes in the starter to move it away from the ring gear. Ran into a problem like this on a Jeep with an Advanced Adapters automatic trans adapter from GM to Jeep. It was obvious that advanced adapters didn't get the spacing right and it ate up the ring gear on the flexplate.
