The perverbial snowball effect
Bad cutless bearing--->realigning/re-shim the strut---->new engine mounts---->might as well replace my 25 yo starters while I'm in there.
I got two brand new Arco starters. The problem as you can see in the pic is the trunnion just makes contact with the body of the starter so I can't quite get it installed. I looked at the other engine and it's fractions away on that side too. I've only done a very rough/eyeball side to side alignment and so maybe the new strut position moved the engine over a hair which led to my issue.
There's plenty of meat on the bone so to speak so I was thinking of removing the mount and grinding maybe an 1/8" off the end of the trunnion. Anyone else had this issue?
