On removal of the flywheel ive noticed that quite a few of the teeth or a bit bent. How can I sort this can you buy a new set of teeth and do they neeed to be super heated to get them off and back on again?
HELP!!!

Check out the teeth on your starter motor too. As for the ring gear i haven't a clue

starter looks fine just the flywheel side that looks naff.

pre-engaged or inertia ?

[PhoenixSimon]

ahhhhhh inertia I think would that be right with a pre verto clutch, starter is just a single chunky cylinder coke can size but longer.

The the edges which are towards the diaphram are shaped ( on new ones, nice angled sort of teeth ) but do tend to round off, the angle is there to help the com' engage, like a dog tooth....

In the pic below the inertia ring on the top, pre engaged on the bottom, you can see the angle (*cough wear*) of the tooth edge...

Ok cheers for the reply guessworks, ive taken a few rubbish photos so you can get the drift, its definately not just wear and tear. There is a number written on the flywheel which ive taken a photo of too and of the starter.
What do you reckon?

if it wasnt having trouble starting then its fine, looks worn but not to excess imo!!

[PhoenixSimon]

The picture doesnt do it justice its not worn it chewed, I will take some better pictures with my "proper" camera and you can see what I mean. Did hava few problems with starting it but only tried 2-3times before I pulled it to peices after buying it.

well by starting problems i mean when u try to stayt it grinds like same sound as trying to selsct reverse without pressing the clutch!!

yes you can fit a new starter ring gear, grind or chisel the old one off and put the ring gear in the oven and the flywheel in the fridge and when hot/cold fit the new ring gear but make sure it is on square.
a machine shop can fit one for you and it does not cost a lot.
some people can get them off with out damage and put it back on turned round.

[PhoenixSimon]

Thanks for the reply, im not going to try it myself as it has a habit of not turning out as planned, where can I get the new ring gear from?
