"One of the major reasons for damage to the flywheel ring gear is 12-volt conversions. The starter really SLAMS into the ring gear."

Good point. This would explain why car makers went to a different ring gear when they changed to 12 volts. Typically the same diameter flywheel but finer teeth in other words more teeth but smaller.
