Most of those engines were drilled for either starter bolt pattern. What matters is that you get the right starter for the size flywheel you're using. The 153 tooth and the 168 tooth require their own starter nose cone. Except for the aftermarket gear reduction starters which are usually drilled for either flywheel.
Certainly. Once the engine is running the starter is not needed.
Those may not be the numbers needed for correct identification. I've seen that 3970010 on many, many blocks. The block number you need is usually stamped into a small id plate just ahead of the right cylinder head. The head numbers are under the rocker covers, and can be difficult to read if they are covered in sludge, which is common. With the correct numbers, you could go to a website such as: http://www.auto-ware.com/techref/castnum.htm to answer your question.
The starter would self destruct from over revving once the engine started.
The solenoid in normally by the starter motor and is a relay so the starter switch does not conduct the full amps needed to turn the engine.
the equipment needed for investment casting of gas turbine buckets and blades are i dont know you know
besides the engine you need all the wiring, sensors, starter, computer, etc
Your engine size is needed but your looking at aroun 100+ Here is a link that will help you out http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductList.aspx?PartType=123&PTSet=A&SearchFor=Starter
disconnect neg. battery cable ,remove pos.cable from starter .10 or 12 mm wrench.remove wire from starter ,no wrench needed,its a male to female connector,remove 2 bolts holding starter to engine,12 or 14 mm wrench,thats it.
The function of a battery is to provide electrical energy to devices which are connected to it.
Yes it will fit but you need a Donor car for needed parts. The transmission will be needed because of the location of the starter. The Head pipe will be needed as well. Like I said, you need a donor car
A "dragging-starter" can fail to "spin" or rotate a diesel engine at an RPM sufficient to aid in the combustion process that is needed in a diesel engine. Although all glow plugs might be working effectively, if the starter fails to turn the engine over at sufficient RPM, the diesel fuel entering the combustion chamber can fail to ignite. Diesel engines have higher compression-ratios than gasoline engines and diesel fuel explodes in the compression chamber (if the glow plugs are functioning AND the engine is turning over fast enough when the starter is engaged. Starter motors on diesel engines are generally more robust than starters on gasoline vehicles. The additional higher-torque value on starters used in diesel applications provide the added boost needed to start the engine. SOUTHWESTUSA on Flicker (check out my stuff)
A key? Compression/spark/fuel/good timing/good starter/ decent battery/correct wiring.
