Can you give us the model number information of the engine so we can see which brand, and style of engine that you are working on. Are you sure that you have the aluminum ring gear and not the steel. The parts diagram that I looked at showed the replacement aluminum ring gear, but when I look at complete flywheels they only show the steel ring gear flywheel.

Do not use cheap aftermarket junk, get a real Briggs gear.
