Cooked another starter
Well after the last bog i somehow managed to pack the starter with mud (bellhousing is seealed up as well as the starter) pretty good and today i got to pulling it to clean it out today as it was hanging up pretty bad. So i got it apart only to find that it was packed worse than i thought and that the armature was rusted pretty good. So basically i wondering is there anything else i can to hekp seal the starter up etter (i already silcon and tape them up as good as i can, i run a bead of silicon around the outside of it when it bolted to the bellhousing, i have a bead of silcon on the bellhousing to motor surfaces, i think the only place it can get in there is at the clutch fork boot, any ideas on how to seal that up better along with any other ideas, as i need this for saturday, and would like to get the thing sealed up as best i can. (this is the third starter i'm on in like 10 boggs), here is what the starter looks like after i pulled it apart and wiped all the mud out:

No flywheel vent, and if there is one it'd be up by the fire wall on the top of the bellhousing which is one of the places i don't get mud. But i'm thinking its getting in the clutch fork boot, i will know more tomorrowmorning when i give it a good once over.

To tell you the truth i can't find the vents on the starters, i belive these ones are venting through the snout end, but i discovered today that a bit of mud is comin gin through the clutch fork boot, but i think that the mud forced in through the taped i used on the back end and caused the problem, but the styarter i threw on there today is more sealed off, and plus i used some silcon and made double sure. Now i just need to figure out how to seal off the that one boot.
