Exhaust manifold heat shield sealing question. #96738 07/29/08 08:37 PM 07/29/08 08:37 PM

They are in very good condition but I am worried that they will not seal properly. This is not a problem that I want to worry about in the tight, early A-body compartment! Should I use gaskets in addition to the shields? Sealer? Or should I omit them entirely? Thanks for any help!
