Alright so I just got done putting the car back together, and put the starter back on. Now every time I TRY to start the car, it makes a grinding sound and does not crank. I did have the flywheel off, and the teeth are good. The only thing I can think of, is when I install the starter the first time something didn't feel right and I think I may have bend/pushed something? The bolts were hard to go in. I have taken the starter out and re installed... same problem.

So bent/mis-aligned flywheel? I torqued it to specs.... and don't think I can bend the flywheel with the starter.

Pressed the drive gear on the starter back? I thought maybe on that, but took it out and looks like it is activated to extend when voltage is applied... but maybe I pushed it further down?
