After killing 9... that's right... 9 starters... I'm a freakin expert at shimming them now.

I've blown them up.
Had them stick engaged, and had to blow them up... around 20 mph.
I even had to break one in half to prove to O'Reilly's that it was too far off to shim correctly.
They sure do regret that "lifetime warranty" with me and my starters. LOL!!!
