Heat soak......tired of it

[Bri guy]

X2 on the 9510. I had heat soak issues with the 9000 on my sbc. Swapped to a 9612 and haven't had any issues since

It's on the way just don't when it will be here for sure. Got some more exhaust wrap. Will buy a new cable that runs to the battery. Still 50/50 on getting a heat shield. For 3 reasons.
1) looking at reviews, MAY not need it.
2) there's so many to chose from not sure what will work 100%
3) not sure how the thickness of a shield would affect the position of where the starter meets the fly wheel. Would it be To far away and will cause more adjustment?

I had the Powermaster 9100, worked great. I had Summit's version of it, what a POS.

I will keep you posted. Still waiting on shipping details. Can't wait to try it out and see the results.

I seriously doubt that you need any heat wrap with that mini starter

I already bought wrap for the headers yesterday. I might as well wrap them to protect the starter even more

Starter arrives tomorrow. Already got the header bolts loose. So tomorrow after work I will start the swap. Hope it goes somewhat trouble free. Haven't done a starter for a loooong time

Got the starter today. That ****er is tiny compared to the stock one! But the instructions.....god Damn. Makes it seem very complicated...last starter I did was on a 93 olds and that an easy swap.....

Did shims come with it?

 

[Bri guy]

Yes. This Damn starter kicked my butt for a while. Had to remove header and also detach it from the rest of the exhaust. Then had to work like a **** to squeeze the starter out.
