Ok, I'm going nuts. When the cam moved on my 250, the engine was complete and everything hooked up. I took accessories off it to do the repair and now have the engine back on the car. For the life of me, I can't get the starter to go in that last 1/8". It was in there before.

The only thing I can think of is that the first time the starter went on BEFORE the oil pan (a mid sump pan) and this time I have the pan on and am trying to replace the starter. This is a T5 tranny on a bellhousing from an 84 Camero.

I REALLY, REALLY don't want to have to pull this engine or drop the pan (full of clean oil) and it makes no sense to me that the starter shouldn't fit when it was in there before.

HELP!!!!!
