Chevy starter 11 teeth or 9 teeth

[@RamonDiaz-y7i]

The point of contact to spin the flywheel is the same that’s why they are a little thicker

I just found out i have a 14" flywheel i never saw the original starter the one i swapped out was an 11ooth so i went back with that NOW not knowing about this i need a 9tooth starter. With the bigger diameter the bendix extends and locksup in the flywheel will not retract until i rotate the engine with a wrench. thanks sam

I read it’s just like gear reduction on mini starters where it changes torque

[@mwilliams55555]

It doesn't matter how many teeth it has, they will work the same, i actually use a factory style starter from a 06 Chevy 8100 on my 99 350, my 94 350 and my 72 C-10 with a 396, stagger bolt pattern, both bolts same lenth, just make sure to the bolts for the right one

Well i can tell you its that there is a reason why.. in this case the issue was resolve in another chevy this it used to brake the. Starters..i believe whatever its designed for the vehicle it has to go in..but, in some cases there recalls and a better.. product its designed

@@SamsAutomotiveS starter nose was broken off 3 original style starters on the 99 vortech 5.7, been driving with the 2006. 8100 starter for over a year now, no issues, other than not sounding like a Chevy cranking over lol

​@@SamsAutomotiveSThanks sam, I just found out that 168 tooth starter for big block the same flywheel was put on 350's as well "i didnt know that" so i went to the parts store and they gave me a starter for a chevy 350- now thinking it would work it didnt it just locked up even though its a high torque starter but its for a 153 tooth flywheel - what ive learned again is 168tooth flywheel =9tooth starter / 153 tooth flywheel =11 tooth starter, Thank you for the video and the input mr.sam

[@dangeroustoman]

I thank you for this info. So I assume that if it should of been 9 tooth and you put in a 11 it would crack the nose of. I'm having this very issue with a 96 chevy Silverado.

[@SamsAutomotiveS]

If the number it's not on it best thing its call dealer to ask them if ist 9 or 11 if they dont know ask for the part number them buy the same..

[@jefferyberthelot1520]

They actually have two different flywheels a 168 tooth that goes with the 11 tooth starter and a 153 tooth flywheel goes with 9 tooth starter

Chery 3 sillender starter

[@djones2954]

I have 1999 chevy blazer and the ones I'm using have 11 teeth and the nose cone keeps breaking

[@SamsAutomotiveS]

Try the 9 teeth see if resolve the issue
