Starter Grind: Flex plate Tooth / Starter or Battery?
Hey,
So I have a '74 small block in my Scout II and lately it's occasionally started to make a horrific grinding noise for a few moments when I go to start it.
It does not happen every time, and some times is more severe than others, even when the engine is warm.
I am scared that some teeth may be missing off the flex plate, the starter was loose for a while and it had a few hard starts until I tightened it back up again. Is there any way to see without dropping the transmission?
What do you guys think it could be?
Thanks
