    Gasket on 440 starter?
    « on: May 07, 2015 - 05:08:32 PM »
    Is there supposed to be a gasket between the starter and 440 block?
    I'm replacing the original starter with a mini and there wasn't a gasket when I removed the original.
    Thanks in advance.

    Factory had a thin steel shim to close in the hole around the starter
     it will work fine without it

    I never use starter gaskets; didn't even know there was such a thing.  There is nothing to seal.
