Hi, as a long time reader of this forum this is my first post. I have searched the forum and found various fixes for broken outboard starter ear broken off the block with replacing the block to be the best choice. My problem was self inflicted and I'm trying to minimize the cost of repair but not at the cost of reliability. I bought this 1989 Regal Sebring 195 with 4.3 Alpha one and the motor needed to be rebuilt, which I did. What I also did was ignored a hairline crack (I knew better) beside the outside starter bolt hole and the ear broke off after only a month. I found what looks to be a good alterative fix but I wanted some opinions from here as to if this is a reasonable idea. I hope this link works http://www.danchuk.com/images/Downloads/Instruction Sheets/10100.pdf . Thanks in advance and I hope I have followed forum rules.
P.S. The motor runs great when I can get it to turn over
