I pulled my starter out to take a look at the flywheel and clutch (with a bore scope) to see if there was any oiling from a suspected rear main seal leak. All dry, but I noticed that the teeth are chingered up a bit at the leading edge. This is after only maybe 10 start ups with a new starter and ring gear. I bought the ring gear from this site, and from doing a search now it seems some places make flywheels with gear chamfers, but often they are on the wrong side ! I am talking about lead in chamfer, not the slight chamfer you can see on the teeth here which is the same on both sides.
My old ring gear was too worn to tell if it was originally chamfered or not. Was the oem ring gear from Ford chamfered on the teeth ?
