ok nevermind, i got the engine put in today and everything back together. I havent cranked it yet cause it was raining. I pulled the starter to see if its ok and i found out that the flywheel is rubbing against the plastic piece above it. I dont know what it is, its right over the flywheel. My guess is that it is there to protect it? But is it ok to cut it out? Someone told me to just try to crank it and see if the flywheel will grind it away itself. Any suggestions on what to do?
