By any chance could your flex plate be mounted backward? If so this would cause the plate to be farther from starter. What kind of motor? I have fooled chevy engines since 1956 and never found one that was not machined right (always a 1st time through). Small flexplate (153 tooth-12 3/4") or large (168 tooth-14")? There is a differant starter for each. Lets us know what you find if you get it fixed-good luck.
