1UZ starter motor

My starter motor SOMETIMES will not engage the flywheel. It ticks like it is hitting a tooth on the flywheel instead of slipping between the teeth and cranking the engine. Only way to get it engaging is rotate the engine with a spanner, or move the flywheel a bit (roll the car forward and drop the clutch).
I think it'd start maybe 4 times in 5.
The flywheel is my old racing flywheel with the R154 gearbox, and has the V8 ringear shrunk onto it.
Could it be that it isn't lined up properly? Can I line it up better? Can I lube it up? Can I twist the starter a bit?
Keep in mind the starter is in the middle of the V and will not be easy to get out (maybe 3hrs off and back on). But the flywheel is even harder to get off (not dropping the gearbox!)
