In the tech session at Salado this year one of the presenters talked about flywheel ring gears. He said that a ring gear can be taken off of the flywheel and reversed so that the good portion of the teeth are facing the starter. He said that the ring gears wear on the front half part of the teeth and reversing them gives the starter drive essentially a new gear to engage. There is a procedure for doing this change which I will not get into now, but can describe if folks are interested. Of course all of this is based on the starter drive teeth being in good condition. I had never heard of doing this until Salado, but it may be worth a try.
