All bolts are tight and torgued to specs.
I have tried shimming the starter, checking the clearence and it all looks good until you turn the motor over, then it hangs up.
Anyone ever have this happen?
Check tooth count on the flex plate with the old one you may have the wrong plate,and its not compatible with the starter.
