Sorry to bring up an older thread but I am having a noise on cranking too. I just replaced a cracked flexplate and have been trying to solve the noise. I read somethings on here about the bolts being an issue and tried to change bolts with no change. Why did you have to cut the AL plate away? Was the starter gear not extending far enough or was it rubbing on the plate? Any insight would be great.

thanks
