Re: tooth count on starter
Think about it, the pinions are the same diameter. with ten teeth the profile will be fatter than with 11 teeth. I'm just putting together a new t5 to SP jig using a saloon backing plate so will measure the starter pcd on both that and the SP unit tomorrow.

In this application when the pinions (either) are rolled around a ring gear the 11 has a better engagement . -- same dia for both. If the sp backing plate is overlaid with the saloon version the pcd difference is seen

Re: No Head Gasket
Careful using bolts that are too long on the inlet manifold. you will have a spot of bother getting the pushrods in
