I've just removed the flywheel. Does the ring gear look as though it's been installed backwards?
Ring gear on wrong?

It's backward.
The taper on the teeth should be on the starter drive side.

Simple fix tho, takes less than 2minutes to unshrink and reinstall using an acetylene torch.

Thanks Wolfman & Ben
Today's job was to replace the ring gear as it had a few chewed teeth and I wanted to make sure I put the new one on correctly. It's not fitted and the motor is back in.
Thanks again, Lee.

Flywheel timing marks correctly oriented?
It's 50-50 it can be on 180* out.

Not all Flywheels are marked.
