My condition inspection exposed my ring gear having 6 missing teeth.
The missing teeth appear to have been partially fractured some time ago as it looks partially aged on about 25% of the missing tooth surface. I had a starter kickback on first start almost 5 years ago. Maybe, the cause?
I pulled the flywheel and will be bringing it to Zephyr Engines in the morning to have them install the new ring gear.
Is this a fairly common occurrence?
I have a Superior XP-IO360 with a SkyTec starter.
