What year plus engine serial number is yours?

 

[Scott Danforth]

there are 4 configurations of starters for GM engines. direct drive and PMGR, straight across pattern (for 153 tooth flywheels) and the staggered pattern (for 168 tooth flywheels)

so what flywheel do you have?

 

[Paintman1960]

The engine is a reman with no serial numbers
I will try to feel the bolt pattern when i get home tonight

Mercruiser reman?

 

[Paintman1960]

Scott, I don't know, St Claire marine in Michigan built the engine
It's very well built tho, I have the build sheet. I got rained out at work , I'm home now, going out to look or feel for the starter bolts, be back soon

 

[Paintman1960]

Ok, I'm feeling pattern of bolts is across from each other, not staggered.
I'm wanting to install a PMGr starter in it, unless you know of something better?
Thanks again

are you certain? there should be both patterns in the block.

Which one was on there? you may need to count your teeth if you dont know.

I know , I been building GM engines a long time, Problem is, engine is in the boat and I can't get my hand around it to know,, Thiinking I'm gonna have to wait to get it out to know for sure.
I do know there is 2 bolts in it, not staggered
I will update this when I get it out.
Thanks again for your help

if the starter is there and straight across, you have a 153 tooth flywheel.
