Head gasket failure 2014 turbo viper


hello again so more trouble with the new viper almost wish I didn’t sell my old rx1 thing was tough never left me stranded one time. I did end up pulling the head off this viper found the middle cylinder washed out put a .066 gasket and arp studs in from mpi. I did run into a issue with the studs the top left pto side stud can go 2 far and hit a gear and it will lock the engine solid figured this out real quick. Mpi did not send anything saying don’t let this stud go to far thank god I didn’t start it. But anyway got the sled back up and running it runs awesome put 200 miles or so on it but unfortunately the starter stopped turning when I was on the last ride it just clicks but will not turn. I can turn the motor over by hand with the clutch feels fine but like I said when you turn the key it just clicks also the positive wire gets hot when I try to start it witch means the starter is definitely drawing power. It run fine just stopped to have a smoke and now the starter is just locked right up?

sounds like you lost a starter magnet cspittle. only way to know is to pull the starter and check the gear through the hole for missing teeth as well.
