On a 4 cycle, 4 cyl it will have 2 places 180° apart, a 6 cylinder will have 3 places at every 120° of crankshaft rotation on an 8 cyl 4 places every 90° of crankshaft rotation. This is the reason the OP has major damage spots on the flywheel.

Absolutely. Leaving it much longer may leave your stranded.

Well, due to relatively low and seasonal use with my classic cars, and having had installed a rebuilt Bosch starter that seemed to resolve the issue, this had laid untouched for a while.
I’ve driven the car a decent bit recently given the nice weather, and the rotor issue on my accord (despite diesel prices), and in the last week it happened twice.
Different starter.
The battery is the same though. I bought the car and the battery has never been changed. It always cranks the engine perfectly and it starts on first cylinder to purring like a kitten every time (except when the starter engages fubky). Could a weak battery create a weak starter engagement but perfect fast crank and no excessive voltage sag?
Just thinking out loud about cause…..
