We are disappointed with the improvement made by altering a complete set of valves. The engine is still very noisy on the induction. X4384 STARTER MOTOR. We have tried the Bendix Pinion again with the thread for the pinion .75" lead tripple start. With this the pinion does come out a mesh when the engine starts.
