my 1985 ford f150 351 windsor ho starter is hiting the flywheel at 16th of an inch witch rounds the teath off the starter you can nit shim it for it is a direct drive stater system
the flywheel and stater are both new 9th starter 3rd flywheeel
a direct drive starter can not be shimmed. their is no way to add a bolt hole or ajust the starter it only bots on one way with two bolts. it is the worst design ever built
it is like the starter is just to far from the flywheel the teath just barly touch so it wears it out fast
 
its a ford get used to it almost everyone i have had with a 302 or 351 has had this problem there fuckin junk the only way to fix it is to buy a new one and a flywheel or flexplate.
