Alignment:
On
K482 engines, alignment of starter pinion to ring gear is established by the machined
surface of starter mounting flange on the oil pan and thru special (Allen head) mounting bolts. To
prevent misalignment and gear damage, make sure the same bolts are used and that they are securely
tightened at all times.
On
K662 engines, the starter is supported by brackets at front and rear.
The brackets, when
properly installed and tightened, provide alignment of the drive pinion to ring gear.
Make sure these
are secure at all times to prevent gear damage.
Drive pinion to ring gear backlash must be from
.015 to .030H on K482 and .015 to .035" on
K662 models. To measure this, move drive pinion into engagement then check clearance between the
pinion tooth that is solidly engaged between two teeth of ring gear. Excessive backlash indicates gear
wear

-
replace drive pinion andlor ring gear in this event.
