mini starter installed...loud noise now
Just had my mechanic install my exhaust and Skip White mini starter...
Good news - 2.5" exhaust sounds great and looks awesome Bad news - mini starter is loud as can be - doesn't sound right to me How are they supposed to sound? It sounds like it is holding the crank a bit too long... |

Re: mini starter installed...loud noise now
Is it noise from the reduction gears or noise from the starter and ring gear?
I think those are universally noisy no matter who sells them. |

Aftermarket ministarters are universaly loud or sound like the gears or grinding or schreeching. Look to see if the starting gear is engaging fully on the flywheel or flexplate. Every mini starter I've put on my trucks (3 times) has been loud or the gear just doesn't extend far enough. Cdowns, yes I shimmed everyone of them to 1/8th of an inch

Re: mini starter installed...loud noise now
That sounds like you are having a pre ignition ping. Check your total timing with vacuum advance disconnected. You may also try to disconnect vacuum advance and take it for a spin and see if it still does it. If it does not you need a adjustable vacuum advance.
