So I've just swapped my engine from my old 8 to one in better condition. It ran fine in the old car and fired up no problem. When I put the engine in the new 8, I added an RB dual resonator, BHR ignition kit and I've just changed the spark plugs and put in the upgraded starter from the old car this weekend.
Ever since the first hot start, it's taken a little extra long to start up. This was with the old starter in it. With the updated starter, I have no idea what it does because it's making an odd noise after startup - a whirring, akin to straight cut gears which I can only assume is the starter not disengaging - and is slow to crank/will not crank at all if shut off. I assume this is because the starter is overheated or something - it was bench tested at AutoZone today four times and fired up 3/4 so I'm fairly certain the starter isn't totally bad yet.
Here's the video of the issue: https://youtu.be/6cCiJhtfv-w
If you can hear, the whirring is relative to RPM.
I shut the car off after that video and it cranked, but only very slowly and would not start. I ran it for probably 20 minutes at idle and drove it for a minute around the parking lot it's currently sitting in.
The only other variable I can think of is the plugs - they're NGK iridium but the wires seem to stick out farther than the OEM ones. I have no idea if this is usual or not but they're on, I pushed very hard on them to make sure when I changed the plugs.
Any ideas on my noise/starting issue? 2004 6MT, body has 101k miles, engine has 53k. I'd like to get it out of the parking lot ASAP.
