For anyone having this issue with a 454 7.4L Big Block Chevy Starter; PLEASE get a NEW ACDELCO starter with brand new knurled bolts from NAPA. I’ve had this side for months where my starter pinion would get stuck to my flywheel and grind till my flywheel shaved.

Pros: new starter, knurled bolts
Cons: starter pinion stuck
Vehicle: Chevrolet

Went with the ACDelco, and it starts great! No grinding or clunking, so it didn't need to be shimmed. Thank you all for the assistance!

Pros: starts great, no grinding
Vehicle: Mitsubishi

Ive just put the 3rd starter on my truck ('94 f150 w/351w) in about 2.5 years. All Delcos sense thats all I can get quickly here. The first one quite entirely and the last one still spun but would not engage the flywheel.

Cons: starter spun but not engage
Vehicle: Ford

Denso, Bosch, and ACDelco are all OE parts suppliers for various car manufacturers and remans can be found for under $200 online even including the core charge which you'll get back when you send the old starter in.

Pros: remanufactured parts available
