Flexplate swap - Need help
Good Evening Everyone,
I need some help regarding a flexplate swap. I bought a 6.2L engine (running) 4 months ago, however just a couple days ago I started having issue with the starter. Starter was moving a lot when starting, I removed and re-seated the starter a couple of times, I also bought new starter bolts (just a hair fraction bigger). But soon enough the starter would not line-up with the flexplate teeth and at times the starter would fall behind and hit the flexplate. I'm pretty much :( frustrated at this point cause now my flexplate teeth are now rounded & smooth :mad:.
:confused: Do I have the wrong size starter?
:confused: How can I confirm this starter is the correct one?
Quick history on recent purchased engine: John got the engine 14 years ago (Engine case block #14022660), but never got to use it cause he sold the truck it was suppose to go in. John can't recall the Year/Make of truck engine came out of, John thinks it was from a 1983 truck (Chevy/GM). John said he bought the starter on amazon (Model: 6469N, Serial: ACL16L1, Volts: 12V).
My original 6.2L has a crack block (Engine case block #14022660). My question here is :confused: could I swap in my flexplate off my crack engine? Both flexplates are NOT a match.
As you can see in "Picture B" flexplate is off my cracked engine have three small holes above/or below the 3 larger circles, as to "Picture A" is off the recent purchased engine DOES NOT have any small holes above/below the larger circles.
I know this is a lot of information and hope my pictures help too.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
