Call Lycoming and try for an out of warranty adjustment.  The new O360 in my
RV6 came with the Lycoming starter.  At less than 100 hours, I noticed the
starter ring gear was showing contact only on 1/2 of the width of the top of
the teeth.  Lycoming's warranty lady (who was very easy to work with by the
way) mentioned they had been replacing a lot of those starters.  The Sky-Tec
Lycoming supplied has been fine for over 600 hours so far

The story I recall from Bill Baimbridge of B&C was that Lycoming did not
want to pay his price, so they got the lowest bidder they could find to copy
his starter and got what they paid for.
