My starter. I'm proud to announce that the 96 3L is up and running. I started it up just to verify that it would run then shut it off after about ten seconds. Went to star it again and my starter is grinding. It sounds like the bendix is not strong enough to engage. FWIW I am running ~11.25:1 CR. I mix my own race fuel so the high compression is not a problem as far as fuel goes. My 00 CSVT has 92K on it and as far as I know the starter is original. My question is is this a coincidence or has anyone else had the same problem. If so is there a high torque starter available? Or possiblly the extra compression was just the last straw for the starter.
If there is a better high torque starter please give me a part number. Or if there is a rebuild kit I wouldn't mind rebuilding it with upgraded parts.
I tried a search but I had no luck.
Thanks
