Guys, need some help. Repost as the old one didnt go through. Purchased a machined and clearanced block for a 383 stroker, assembled the unit, but found after about 6 starts the starter "offset mount" starts to bind up on the flexplate 168 tooth. I loosen and retighten and all is good for about 6 starts and itll start to bind up again. Dropeed the starter this morning and low and behold I find the outside pad has a crack through it going upwards. This explans why it keeps loosening off. My question is I know theres starters out there you can buy that use all three mounting points anyone know the brand or where I can get one from. Alternatively does anyone know how to fix this crack prior to it getting worse
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
