RE: FE 428......Won't crank over when "hot"
By John - 06/29/2001 7:26:27 PM; IP 142.177.52.82
Probably not related, but I had a similiar problem for a strange reason. The rebuilt starter frame was painted so the ground for the throw-out winding didn't always have a good ground...starter would spin, but not fly out and crank engine. I drilled out the rivet, tapped it for a 10-32 I think, and installed a SS machine screw...no more problems.

Also, I have always found my 428 to crank over slowly when hot. I just figured the increase in compression (oil thrown up from just being run) and the tightness of the engine once hot(parts expand) was the culprit and I am told this is normal. However no damage was ever caused by this. An aftermarket "geared-down" starter should prove to cure the problem.

Finally, battery cables must be in top condition at both ends...pay particular attention to the ground which may hace a grundgy bolt on a painted surface of the block or head. This can change resistance when hot. Continuity between the engine block and the bell-housing is important, but I have never seen this to be a problem.

Just a few things to ponder.
This thread, so far...
