Default Key/Starter grind

Hey guys,

Was troubleshooting my blend doors with the blower on full blast and forgot the engine was running. Grind-ed the starter for just a sec. I'm guessing it can take a little abuse, is this just superficial damage?

Thanks

yeah continual grinding could rip teeth off the starter or flywheel but once won't kill it...if your really worried turn the motor by hand so the starter starts in a different position
