Steering back in and Starter Sorted

I had been struggling to get the starter to disengage, and while spinning it over I noticed the flex plate seemed to be bent or on the crank wrong. On Saturday I split the engine and box and pulled the flex plate off to check it. It seemed to be completely flat, so I tried the spare one I’d bought for the 400. That also seemed to be running out as well, so I put the old one back on and torqued it up. After a lot of looking at the starter, I realised it was not disengaging as it’s not supposed to until the engine starts. I put it all back together and packed in for the night exactly where I’d started. On Sunday I hung the 605 steering box and roughly set the track rod ends, then filled the motor with oil and stuck the leads and plugs back on out of the way. Starting to look like a car again.
