Kinda hard to get decent shots without jacking the truck up, but the pics show that the headers do come within just over an inch from the starter motor. You can see the new starter/solenoid. I admit that the header pipes are a bit close, and probably should have some type of heat shield to keep the heat away from the starter. However, the old starter was on for over 25 years without any issues.....and due to this 2 yr-old "No Warm Start Issue", I replaced it with a new one.......and had the autoparts store test it with their machine, and it was still "good". So, I dont think the heat from the headers is the problem causing the "No Warm Start".
