4.4 Starter Motor

Thanks Gents, So this Spacer doesn't hold theh starter away from block, but rather fills the gap so starter is held or located better?

Yep thats it , all tho ive gotten away with out using one many atime for long spells:D

Some will call me a shonky operator for not using one or suggesting not to use one , thats your call if you do or dont:p

Thanks All, I think in short I can use it to get me out of trouble, it will get me home and a long way if needed, but maybe I should find/make one if I can.

Thanks all for comments.

As RM said it could well outlast the engine but if you look at the 4.4 block and bolt a rover starter you will see a gap all around the machined starter snout, the ring is just for extra support- you could probably get away with some good silastic.

Hi All,

When I started this thread I thought that I would have a few weeks left in the starter motor to source another......wrong!!!!!

Its finally gone and I cannot for the life of me find one for the 4.4.

From the replies to the thread I am now urgently after a starter for the 3.5.

If anyone is keen to sell one or knows anybody that does it would be appreciated.

Thanks again for your replies

A starter out of 3.5,3.9,4.0 or 4.6 should work. My 4.4 now runs a P38 4.0 starter with a spacer. Turns over faster and uses less amperage. The early 3.5 starters are nearly all buggered these days. Good for a door stop. ;)

I got a good second hand one....or 3, come grab one with a box of scotch under your arms:D

Thanks for the offer rovercare,

I am just waiting on a call from a mate that is sourcing one on the mornington peninsula. If I get stuck I may take you up. Thanks again.

has anyone sourced a spacer from anywhere? if so where bouts? ive gone through a couple of starters and i think this is the reason. If nto do you know what dimensions the spacer is to get one machined up?

Cheers

Some one will have to make one for you. Where are you located?

If you cant get one I can make one for you next time I'm at the lathe.
I make them a heat shrink fit so it stays on the starter.
