Hello to the group,

I mentioned in a previous post I'm replacing my flywheel ring gear due to worn teeth. I called Napa again and they found the correct one.

Today, I was inspecting the old ring gear and starter and I noticed that the previous owner had flipped the ring gear over, as both edges of the teeth were worn. The starter seems to have excessive slack when I was testing it, which could be the cause for the worn teeth. However, I also have to wonder if this starter has the correct nose length. The starter has a reman sticker on it.

After I reinstall the flywheel I'm going to measure the flywheel to the starter mounting face of the clutch housing and compare that to the starter, to ensure I get the correct nose length.

Does anyone know what the length difference is between the short and long nose?

Thanks again for your assistance,

David
