Desperate for help!!!!
Short version: When i went to start my motor a loud noise happened and it broke the starter where it bolts up.
Long Version: I tried to start my car and it broke the starter on the inside bolt hole. It also broke the outside bolt hole on the block. so i got a new shortblock nd put it in and went to start it and a loud noise happened and thank god it just broke the starter this time. What could possibly be causing this to happen? i noticed one of the starter bolts are bent but im guessing that happened on the first go around and wouldnt cause it to happen again. Any ideas would be helpful.
