A lot of V-8 Chevys, GM's, for that matter, need shims between the starter and the block. Go to your local auto-parts store and just tell the guy what you need!

SOURCE: spark plug blowout

No, can't see how?
Make sure you lubricate spark plug threads with anti seize paste and don't over tighten.. usually hand tighten till plug bottoms + 1 flat of hex.

SOURCE: 7 starter`s in a year

Did the original starter have shims? It may need some. Get a delco starter and new bolts. Rebuilt non delco starters give trouble and do not last. Check flywheel teeth.

SOURCE: starter

Probably not the timing chain, but it could be the crankshaft.
Its rare, but sometimes the main bearings and crank will wear enough to allow the crank to move forward or backward. Its also possible the flywheel is bent so that part of the ring gear is in the right place and part of it is not. But you should be able to turn the flywheel with the starter out and see the variance. Using shims raises the starter gear off the flywheel teeth. Its also possible the flywheel teeth are worn enough that the starter gear is riding over the teeth and locking up.

I bought a new 22re crate motor because the other one was blown, hole in side of block.went to marry engine to transmission and I know for sure that the torque converter is seated all the way.so my...

never knew that a torque bolted to a flywheel, it is always bolted to a flex plate that drives the torque converter and carries the ring gear for the starter
there are washers that fit either of that flex plate or on some engines only on the converter side with the bevelled edge facing away from the plate
the torque converter is bolted to the flex plate by 3 or 4 bolts facing back to the converter from the block end
why are flywheels not used with torque converters
the mass of the flywheel affects the engine acceleration and the torque converter full of oil takes over that job so the engine acceleration would be considerable slower if both were used

Thermostat housing bolts wont tighten up

Pull the housing off and check if the threads are stripped where the bolts screw in. On aluminum, threads can get easily stripped from over tightening. A shop can use tap and die tools to rethread the holes. It shouldn't cost too much.

2005 aveo starter will not engage flywheel took starter out, it works out of car

If it's out try to turn the gear one way then the other,if it spins easily in either direction ,the "bendix" spring is broken,the starter will hit the flywheel but disengage right away.
If it doesn't hit the ring gear at all,look at the teeth on the flywheel,also when you put it back in be sure to tighten the bolts evenly,

Strip bolt on transmission and leaks oil. How can i fix that problem?

you have to see if the bolt or the hole is striped,if its just the bolt you can get 1 at any automotive store,if its the hole then you are going to have to use a tap and die kit and rethread the hole and use a different size bolt for the new hole size.

How do I remove the starter motor from a 1993 Ford Fairlane?

  • Use a wrench to loosen the bolt and nut assembly that secures the negative battery cable to the battery, then lift the cable away from the battery.
  • 2 Apply the parking brake and raise the front of the car with a jack, then lower the vehicle onto two jack stands. Place one jack stand on each side of the front of the vehicle, under the frame.
  • 3 Access the starter from underneath the passenger's side of the Falcon. The starter is between the engine and the transmission and looks like a large coffee can.
  • 4 Remove the battery cable from the side of the starter. The cable slides over a threaded stud and is secured with a single nut. Remove the nut with a wrench, then lift the cable away from the starter.
  • 5 Remove the two flywheel-to-starter retaining bolts with a wrench, then pull the starter toward the front of the vehicle to remove it.
  • 6 Position the replacement starter against the flywheel housing, then install and tighten the two flywheel-to-starter retaining bolts with a wrench.
  • 7 Slide the battery cable onto the threaded stud on the side of the starter, then install and tighten the retaining nut with a wrench to secure the cable in place.
  • 8 Lift the vehicle with the floor jack, remove the jack stands, and lower the Falcon to the ground.
  • 9 Position the negative battery cable onto the battery terminal, then tighten the cable into place with a wrench.

    Im replacing the water pump on my 1994 f350 with the 460 engine. I have one bolt on the pump that will not tighten. What do you suggest I try?

    Bummer, your only option is to address why the bolt will not tighten, either the wrong bolt (too short) or stripped threads. If threads are stripped, use a helicoil to repair. Be certain to allow straight access as this step must be perfect or larger problems will result.

    What are the cylinder head torque specs for a 1999 cadillac deville 4.6l

    I can help you with this but I have to ask one question. Have you already taken this apart and putting it back together? Did you rethread all the head bolt holes because they strip out when you tighten them and you will ruin the head gaskets. Let me know, I have don't this job quite a few times. I'll have to look up the actual torque specs. Also you are wanting the spec for the cylinder head bolts and not the cylinder head cover bolts right?

    Somebody Please help me !! after install the starter for my tsx the starter will make clucking noise and won't start right away (it sounded like some metal hitting !!!) please someone help me!!! HELP ~~~

    I am sorry, you will have to remove the starter-motor again.
    Before you do this, write down the 'code' for your radio.

    Seems like the starter-motor wasn't sitting properly, or you mistakenly got an object in the starter-motor housing. Or the starter-motor you exchanged was defective.

    2. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
    3. Disconnect the positive wire of the starter-motor and solenoid wire.
    4. Loosen the starter-motor bolts and take it out for thorough examination. You might take it back to where you purchased it for additional testing.
    5. Rotate the flywheel with a breaker-bar/torque-wrench, and see if you hear any strange sound.
    6. Install the starter-motor, hand-tighten the bolts first. Then torque to about 90-inch pounds.
    7. Re-connect the solenoid/starter-motor wires and the battery negative terminal. Then crank-up the car again.
