Anyone know why the starters for this model cost so much? Had an issue with
the starter shorting out causing a drain on battery and alt. Turned out to
be a pretty expensive problem to fix.
Thanks for the input.

They are a relatively high output compact design that use
permanent magnets instead of field winding. The magnets are
expensive and harder to replace than a field winding.
Many of the cores returned have broken magnets due to people
beating on them with a hammer (or blunt object of choice) when
they fail in a vain attempt to get them to work.

Don't they use the same starter as the small V8? If so:
