Unhappy OM617 Flywheel missing teeth ... cause?

I just rebuilt the starter on my '84 300D and when I went to check for broken teeth on the flywheel I found some missing - so I am trying to figure out why.
What I found interesting is that the missing teeth correspond to the top of the compression stroke on at least one of my cylinders. I advanced the cam 2 degrees and injection timing 3 degrees years ago. I am wondering if anyone else has had broken teeth possibly caused by advancing the cam or IP.
