I'm getting one of my cars running and I fired it up and
it is running but it is making an awful scraping sound and
I can't seem to figure out where it is coming from. I've
got an Auto trans in it. Any suggestions on where to start
looking? I don't think that it is a alternator or water pump.I bought this motor under the assumption that it was working so I don't know much about it. Any suggestions would be appricated.

Thanks I'll check the flywheel and metal plate. The engine
has oil in it. Hehehe... I'm not the greatest mechanic but
I did remember that much.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to do some trial and error today.
I did hear that the starters on a manual trans and auto where different. Is this true? I'm not sure which one I've
got. I put one of the two I have on.

Well the flywheel is scraping on the starter. I have two
and they both are rubbing. I'm heading to the parts store
to check starters and get muffelers.

It seems to be rubbing on the face of the starter behind the gear. Sorry my descriptions aren't very good. Maybe the
gear isn't returning back after I hit the key.
