I solved the starter issue by adding more shims.
About .141" (4 shims) seems to be right for this setup.
The thing that befuddled me is that I was using the 1/8" Allen Key method at first, and that required a shimming of around. 050"-.100", but there was hit and miss starter pinion engagement.
Now that the extra shims have been added, and the issues resolved. I'm considerably over the 1/8" Allen measurement.
Anyhow , thanks for the advice.
