I just replaced a shift shaft seal on my '88 1500; It was necessary to pull the exhaust header on the left side. I took ALL the parts off. While I had the exhaust off I painted all the parts..including the heat shields.
The torque value for the header nuts is only 7 ft lbs.
I reinstalled the exhaust & set the torque..then realized I forgot to put the header heat shields back in place first

So, my question is; Will I need to replace the copper seals..again? I haven't run the engine,so they haven't been heated yet & had a chance to expand.
