Many of the early Z's and KZ's fitted the dyno rotor without a keyway which was a mistake as the back side of the rotor includes the starter clutch. Consequently they would start slipping on the crankshaft taper and gall badly. Usually lapping with some abrasive paste solves the problem. The final fitting indicated the rotor is now .015" farther onto the crank and binding against the starter gear. So next step is to remove. 015" from the gear.
