you will need to shim each starter. not all starters end up being shimed the same. easy way to do it is get a steel coat hanger straighten a pc, and you wont it to just fit between fly wheel teeth, and starter teeth. also check batt connection and grounds. oil leaks and heat will also kill a starter prematurally.
