I had
a starter heat problem with my old headers (Hooker), which were 1/4" from the
starter on by 350 Malibu (stock starter). The starter would not engage in
hot weather after being run. Occasionally I could get it to work
if the solenoid was hit when the ignition was on (a two person job + a big
stick).
Last
winter I replaced my headers, and put a heat shield from Summit on the
same starter/solenoid. No problems this year. The fact that the new headers are
farther from the starter probably helps as well.

I heard that a heat shield is just another heat conductor and if you have the problem now, then it would just be a matter of time until the heat problem would rear its ugly head again that is, unless the shield is made of some special material.
