Was there shims on the starter on the old engine. The starter pinion tooth may be too close to the flywheel. That would put excessive strain on the starter. The proper clearence is between 0.01 to 0.06 from tooth on pinion and the flywheel. Before reinstalling the starter check the flywheel to see if there is a chipped tooth.
