bendix gear? Is the ring gear hard & the bendix gear soft? My problem seems
to stem from the bendix gear not engaging deep enough & I plan to modify this
situation.

It isn't worth it if you can get spares, Bendix drives are CHEAP. And what problem are you having? Might be your ring gear is worn enough that no matter what you do to the starter, it isn't going to help.

Check to see if the flexplate is on right. Odds are that you have it backwards and the ring teeth are further away from the engine than they should be.
