BBC 572 switch to mini starter a season ago worked perfectly. This season starter was grinding after a run . Then got stuck and to switch if for main switch .
today I bough a new starter put it on turned good ignition off to see how it turns . After 3-4 tries the 5 one it grinder switch key off and tried again turned good . Could it be flywheel ring ? Someone had this problem ?

Sure you have the correct starter bolts?
I went thru an issue a while back with starter bolts and a mini starter. Block holes, before threads start, was 3/8". Holes in starter were 10mm. If you have this situation, you need special starter bolts with "stepped knurling". That is, the knurling that enters block is 3/8" and the the other half of the knurling in the starter is 10mm. The correct diameter knurling keeps the starter from moving around and causing alignment issues.

Assuming you can access the starter, you can loosen the 2 bolts then re-tightening them but just so they are snug. Then try to move starter. If knurling size is correct, you shouldn't be able to move the starter much at all.
