At a guess I would say yes, but the more it is used without a head shield then if it isnt, then it's only a matter of time. Someone else will be able to shed a bit of light on this im sure.

Starter motors are a classic weak point on CVH's because of the exhaust placement, more so on turbos.
Try another starter, i think you will find it is your problem it sounds like it.
stevedb: the standard Ford heatshields i have seen are bolted on the block, early blocks do not have these mounts so i'd have a quick peak to see if you do. There may well be a different shield for the turbo but im not aware of one myself.
