years ago they were good but castings are now made in china.
tilton is the way to go now adays.
or just buy the cheap summit starters and replace when they shit the bed.

Yeah, years ago I bought a powermaster alternator from summit that puked in under a week. I deemed it not worth the effort to send back. It's still sitting in the bottom drawer of my tool box to this day lol.

I had issues with my powermaster as well. Nothing like that though. Pizza was nice enough to give me one of his old ones and I was able to use a few parts and make mine work again. I was fuckin pissed!

http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/10001/10002/-1 it's a cvr pro-torquer under jegs name I've heard good things about them

DAWG 01-03-2011 04:13 PM

make sure your using the correct bolts to mount the starter!
or else itll happen again!
starter bolts have a knurl on the shaft.
Or youll have to lockwire the bolts.
(loctite doesnt work for long)
