anyways, video's are easier than words... Why am i getting this noise from the pinion and starter, the pinion is popping out, and hitting the flywheel, but as you can see with the video, sometimes it hits, and sometimes it meshes perfectly to turn the flywheel... as of right now, i have it shimmed at .040" right now, clearly its not enough.. but will shimming it more fix the problem, won't i be going to far away with .060"?

Looks like a bad starter. Also check your timing next time the engine is running because it looks like the flywheel is trying to spin backwards indicating base timing is off.
