Mark -- if the starter was engaged while engine is running, you would certainly hear it unless you're running open headers. To check alignment of the starter, pull the flywheel cover and using a .125 drill check clearance between the starter shaft and the ring gear -- that will get you close. Also, as John and Pete have indicated earlier, check the bolts and insure the knurled portion of the bolt is not worn away and the ring gear is not chewed up. TAZ
