My starter is making a terible noise when starting. It sounds like it is ripping teeth off the flywheel. I pulled it off yesterday and took it to Autozone where they tested it. He did two test on the computer said it is fine. I also got to see the test. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

    Our Asphalt Modified did the same thing. It was the fly wheel Can you tell I love this car as much as the boat? haha! Right Rear was 2 inchs of the ground, left from was 1 1/2. Car won the Northeast Championship...

    4 new tires on the car, 4 on spare chrome rims... 4 Tires for $500 later.... Don't like that part... lol
