LOL, I keep getting confused with my K series. :) My starter motor is on the passenger side of the car and I keep thinking that the cam gears are on the same side (it's on the driver's side. 'doh)Quote:

Iv never heard the term bendix wheel.
if its a manual then its the teeth on the fly wheel
if its a Auto then its the ring gear ( with teeth ) on the torque converter.
the crank doesnt usually get damaged on the gearbox side,
it usually sheers at the pully side. if this was the case you would know about it
if your ED is a manual, you should be able to push start it with the problems you have.

Remove the spark plugs and get the engine rotated over by hand(using a socket/breaker bar) in the CORRECT direction. If it turns over, then the engine is OK.
The flywheel bolts could have been damaged/broken and stopped the flywheel/flex plate from cranking the engine as well.
Do not be fooled into replacing a perfectly good engine when it could be OK. It needs a proper diagnosis and I can safely say from what you have told us, your being fed BS... no make that Elephant S!
