Well, I have put about 400 miles on our new motor. Last week it was in the 90's and I intentially drove the car everywhere we went for the entire w/e. The car did run a bit warm at times sitting in traffice etc. However, she fired everytime with no issues. I am LB and a stock type $30 starter from Advance Auto w/ a stock heat shield from Ames. So far, so good...
