Hi,
Just took my engine off just now and found something that puzzled me. I do not believe that it is a problem, but I would like other opinions. The outside ring of the starter housing is cracked. All the main fastening areas are secure, I do not know when it occurred or why, possibly torqued incorrectly. I have the engine sold, but do not want to pass anything off to someone that will be a problem. I have 180 hours on the engine, have always used Penn air cooled with Marvel mystery oil and Sta bil. The pistons and rings are great, no carbon, clean as a whistle.

The pic shows that the mounting ring is now out of alignment
after the crack occurred...It may be that the starter or ring was not
flat when first mounted.. and torqued down in a bind... any
way...just have it tigged.. I have seen it before... Could also be
the unsupported weight of the starter along with the weakness of the
mounting ring...especially when starting..Herb

Now I remember....the starter on a 532 engine , sitting in a bedroom, has rubber bushings of sorts between the starter and housing ring...Herb
