The failures of the previous starters were all different, so I don't think that there is an ignition issue.

Bench test the O'reilly starter. Is is dead? I have a suspicion it is not. Since cleaning the connections where they are bolted on does not seem to solve these long standing intermittent problems, you have to go further. I think I have mentioned this a few months ago in your other posts: You need to cut open the heat shrink and inspect the crimps of all the power and ground leads in the starter circuit. Wire brush and use plenty of flux and solder all the crimps with a 100 W iron with a fat tip. Or buy all new cables. Don't know if they are still available from the dealer.
