junkuser Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 You can either blue the Bendix gear and use the starter or measure the distance of the ring gear from the face where the starter mounts and the equivalent on the starter with the Bendix in the fully extended position (and the retracted position for clearance) and calculate.

markythesparky Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 how much should the ring gear and bendix mate, without a shim it mates about 80% of the ring gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkuser Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 If the components are to original specifications you should be able to get 100% with even a little to spare on the Bendix gear without clearance problems in the dis-engaged position Mark.This will give more even loading and wear on the teeth.Mal.
