Top mount starter jamming.
I purchaced a rebuilt 572 gm talldeck motor with top mount trs starter. Tried cranking the motor( not yet in boat) and the starter is jamming against the flywheel. Swapped starters and bellhousings same result. I did not count teeth will do that in the morning. Is it the wrong flywheel or am i forgetting a step.
thanks chris

I sold an engine with flywheel and didn't realize it was going in a block mount bravo app and the buyer ran into same problem after engine install. That was an oh shxt moment when I got that call. If you have the correct flywheel for the engine you can pull the fly wheel and flip the ring gear to opposite side. Torch and or conventional oven comes in handy.
