why would my engine become hard to turn over after I turn it off. It seems like it warms up and runs ok but barely turns over after you turn it off until it cools down.
the battery and alt look good. I have headers that get pretty hot and is only a few inches from the starter. I am thinking the starter is getting too hot from the headers. anyone ever heard of this?
Yep...it's called heat soak...that's a very likely possibility as well. Then you'd either need to make a heat shield for the starter or buy some heat wrap for the headers. That heat soak will eat a starter alive...probably don't have much life in the one you have now.
