So I have a 350 that has some hooker long tube headers on it. I changed the starter last week with the O'reilly "one they had in stock" starter. Well I ran the engine for about 15 minutes today breaking the cam in, now it will not start. The starter spins, but does not engage. I think the solenoid/plunger got melted from the heat of the headers.
The battery is good, has good voltage, cables are new, etc... so I don't think that is the issue.
The question is, what is the super bad arse starter for a chevy 350 that can be lit on fire, pissed on, dunked in the mud, sleep with hookers, etc... and still work?
