my starter is grinding on my flexplate on the weight its a powermaster starter 9603 and the flywheel is a ford motorsport for a c4 with the small bell housing 157 tooth and suggestions ?????????????? it took a chuck out of the block plate on the starter and u can see the flywheel on the weight where it rubs are the weights suppose to face the motor or the torque converter??????

 

i think they face the torque converter.

 

I dont think you can put it on backwards, because of the offset in the hub.
I dont see how the weights could be hitting the starter unless they are mounted on the ring gear. I would bet the weights are rubbing the seperator plate (block plate). If the block plate was bent the least bit it will rub like a sum bitch, I wont mention how I found this out!! lol G/L

 

my powermaster starter did that, the weights hit the body of the starter surrounding the stator, it had to be ground off.

 

thanks thats exactly what its doing thanks so much man

 

i cut some big thick washers like a c and slid them between the starter and the bellhousing

 

thanks for the help man this is all i needed to get my car done i really appreciate it
