If you have a 6,000 RPM Engine this is not likely necessary, but still
preventive.
I was told that vibration is a great enemy of the starter and that there is a
big difference between 6,000 and 7500RPM in the potential for vibration. The
little internal wires will break more readily at 6,000+ RPM.
Prevention: Remove the rear cap of the starter and apply a modest amount of
RTV on the wires to prevent vibration leading to a break.
Makes sense to me. And doesnt cost anything, but a couple of minutes.
A secondary effort would be to bracket the rear of the starter...not because
it needs the support, but to dampen the vibration.
