My starter ring gear has gotten chewed up and is beginning to have

problems engaging.  Anyone have recommendations for a good parts

source.  I believe it is 149 teeth -- it is an O-360-A1A, bought new

from Van's in 2000.  A location in the Washington, DC area would be

great, but I suppose it can be mailed from anywhere.



Thanks!

Randy - 



I'd suggest Barrett Precision or Mattituck.  

Rhonda and Mahlon provide an invaluable service to The Lists.  

Let's support them.

I have used  Preferred Air Parts in Ohio for years. They have some new but

mostly used parts and are reliable and honest. I'm on the road at the

moment, but they have a web site.

I have the same problem, caused by the factory installed lightweight starter not aligning properly with the ring gear.  I replaced the starter at about 400 hours and it now seems to engage properly but the damage to the ring gear was already done.  I bought my replacement ring gear from Sacramento Sky Ranch (www.sacskyranch.com).  It is 149 teeth.

I have never had to deal with a ring gear....... but, couldnt you remove it, flip it over and reinstall it with the worn teeth facing forward instead of on the starter side?

Try Don George in Orlando. He has non certified ring gears which are a big seller with the air boat guys down here in Florida. See

You might check Ebay. Check for the proper part number. Not all ring gears are created equal. I recently bought one for an O-320 for $50.

 Someone earlier mentioned flipping the ring gear. There is a bevel on one side so that will not work.

The starter side of the gear tooth is beveled to help the starter gear 

to engage.  No bevel on the other side.  Also, how do you get the gear 

off without destroying it?

 Moderately heat the steel and put a bag of ice on the inner aluminum. Bump the ring right off. Works pretty easy.
