Starter heat soak issues!
After about a year of never having the problem, I am suddenly getting starter issues. I am getting heat soak that is really causing headaches! I have replaced the starter at least twice and still, any time the temp gets above 160 degrees, it will not turn over.
Am I just getting a run of bad starters, or is there another issue I need to look at?

Re: Starter heat soak issues!
Try a starter heat shield

or insulate the starter with a heat blanket.
If that doesn't work you can always go the remote solenoid way that guys use to cure SBC hot soak problems

Re: Starter heat soak issues!
Had the same problem with my 86 IROC. I installed a mini-starter, forget which brand, but that cured my heatsoak problem and starter starts car everytime no matter how long ive been running the car.
