Ok, I've got some issues here. My boat had a bottom mount starter, but it went bad. I decided to replace it with a top mount starter. It's a BBC with hardin marine bellhousing/mount. I bolted the starter in with no problems. When I cranked the motor over, it made this awful screeching sound. Also, the starter didn't disengage completely. I played around with some shims and got the starter to disengage, but it still made the screeching sound. Will this awful noise go away with some use, or do I have a problem? I've never installed a brand new starter before, so I'm a bit stumped on this one. I almost forgot, I'm supposed to leave for Havasu early Thursday morning too.
