No magnetised parts in these starters. The field coils and armature windings magnetize when they are energised. Just make sure you get all of the Bendix drive parts back in their correct order. Something else to watch for is the lower thrust washer. On these vertically mounted starters, they tend to wear causing the commutator to short out against the lower end plate. Making a new non-conductive thrust washer out of Delrin or something similar seems to solve this problem.
