I’ve got too tight of clearance and starter gear sometimes will not mesh. How do you shim the three bolt starter away from the flywheel on these bellhousing style starters? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,102 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,102 | There is a metal plate that is installed behind the starter and attaches to the front of
the bellhousing on V-8 applications. If it is missing, it may be the problem.

I believe there are offset dowel pins available to correct misalignment between the block and the bellhousing.
