Well me and my freind just finished completely rebuilding his d16a1 DOHC for his 88 integra. Well we get the motor dropped back in and everything bolted up and plugged back in. Everything ready for it to start up. Well we go to start it up and the starter just whines. So we thought the starter might have been bad. So we switch it out with another one that we had. Did the same thing. So we tested the other one while it was out and it was doing everything that it was supposed to. Spinning and popping out. So we then thought that it might be a wiring problem. No luck there either. Everything seemed to check out. So we get my dad to come and look at it because he is a mechanic. He said that it seemed to be that the starter was not reaching the flywheel, therefore not engaging with it and turning the motor over. So is there anyway way that we could have left some shims or something out when we reinstalled the flywheel? Is there anything that goes in between the block and the flywheel to make it stick out a little more? Sorry for the long post. But we are ready to get his car finished.
Thanks for all your help.
