At this point with what you've described thus far, it sounds like an engagement / alignment issue.
flexplate is 168 i think, not positive. idk about the starter, didnt check the height difference.

only thing i wanna know is how come i could start it fine since the first time woke broke the engine in, and now all of a sudden it doesnt work.
