Oh I neglected to mention, since I took these pictures and reinstalled the starter, I got excellent first-attempt starts, but now I hear the much-discussed "whirrrrrr" when I let the key go for about 2-3 seconds.

Am I going to die? I mean soon. Presumably something is not disengaging as quickly as it is supposed to.

Oh, after I reinstalled this starter, I did some reading and maybe I should not have wiped out most of the goop in there, which was, as I know now, dielectric grease. There are still traces of it in there, hopefully enough to prevent the starter from liquefying and leaving a molten mess on my lawn.
