Good evening everyone. I have two questions. After tirelessly going through starter threads here I've decided to go with a 9511 XS starter. 1) How many of you have had to shim this starter? I've only seen one post where they had to use shims. 2) Are 350 & 455 starter heat shields the same? My 455 didn't have one but my 350 does. Thanks, Kyle
Good deal. I took the heat shield off of my 350, cleaned it up & put it on the 455 with no problems. P.S. Not to gloat but all 7 of the exhaust manifold bolts came out with a 3/8” drive ratchet. No soaking and none of them broke or anything!! It was a very satisfying experience. Kyle
I hope you have better luck than I did. I'd look for the one the guy on this board sells. Or I would call TA.
