When this guy told me this, I got the impression that he meant that the gears meshed a little tighter on one than the other. I did not get the idea that one starter was built heavier than the other.

Again, this is something I only heard that one time. I probably would have discounted it as myth except for the fact that he was a really level headed, savvy, experienced guy.
