You can rotate the engine a few degrees at a time and drive it back into place with a hammer and a punch.
Mine got so bad I finally had to remove the flywheel and have a new ring installed. I had the shop drill and tap in several places and secure it with set screws.

I had the same problem, drove mine back on and drilled and taped it trough the starter hole. No more problems with it.
