My k350 has a remote solenoid on the firewall. Though I don't know a lot about starters and the electrical process, apparently the remote solenoid takes care of that problem. Someone on the forum here can probably tell you more about it; however, putting the remote solenoid on the firewall takes it away from the heat of the exhaust manifold or headers that is warming up the starter good. Also, I threw away the metal heat shield and used header wrap to wrap the header next to the starter. It seems that the metal shield just created another heat conductor and impeded the flow of air around the started. Will be interested in hearing the opinion of others.
