ok now i went through 3 bellhousings (from over torking starter bolts) 2 flywheels and 2 starters. Today i tried to start her up and again grind grind on the flywheel check tork 35lbs tight should be good but no. All new stuff. took starter out looked at flywheel some teeth not so good now. What do you think the problem is. Sick of wasting money here plus all that work on my back.

What kind of starters are you getting? Auto parts stuff? Either way it should work. Are you running the dust shield between the bellhousing and engine block? When it grinds is it instantly, or does it crank a second then grind?
