ok heres the deal, When I go to start it the starter motor turns over and turns the motor over every now and then but it makes a real loud clanking sound like a gear is stripped or something. I took the cover off and spun the big gear inside the motor and didnt see any chipped teeth or anything and the gears coming off the starter motor itself are fine. It also seems to do a little better when the motor heats up. I cant figure out what else it would be. Thanks

are u asying it turns over hard? its probably just your compression, because it would be higher with the 440 kit... and when it warms up yea it will start easier
