Yeah I got 4 of the 5 heat shields out, one simply wouldn't budge. I bought a new screwdriver that would fit in there, yet is thick enough I don't need to worry about it breaking off into the engine. And yes I did get them in correctly, I made very sure of that. I'll try taking it out for a spin tomorrow morning and hopefully it will improve.
