Super Cool Starting
After swapping in a new WUR (from an Audi 5000) my high compression engine now seems to start much quicker than previously.
Not being quite used to this, today I pulled off a super cool starting maneuver by grinding the starter at my local p-car parts supply. Aaah, that sweet sound! No wonder the dealers don't want to talk to us guys w/ the oldies. My question is, did I do this by merely holding the start procedure a little too long, or this is the sign of some impending starter problem? The car was sitting for about 20 min after reaching about 200 degree temp.

Maybe you left coast guys have some ideas about this.
If the starter makes that grating sound ( the same as when someone tries to start an already running car) could it just be that I am holding the starter a little too long, or is it more likely that I have a problem, such as a dirty Bendix?
