I think the heat related comment is spot on here. Not sure what to do about it, but that seems to be what is affecting me as well.
Replace the starter if you suspect heat soak is the problem, wouldn't be the first starter to ever have had heat soak issues and won't be the last.. They are in a bugger of a place right by the exhaust manifold and a hidden bolt on top that you can't see.. Add in steel bolts that seize going into an aluminum engine block for additional fun so having the starter fail while on the road will not be an easy or cheap fix especially when you round off the top bolt head..
