Radiator touching Exhaust?

Just installed my full Yoshi last night, forgot to take pics... After I finally got the header on the bottom center metal edge of the radiator was just barely touching the inner exhaust pipe (metal on metal). Despite all my efforts, I couldn't get them to stay separate (kept moving back to touching). Should I be concerned about this, will the radiator heating up from the exhaust cause it to blow? I thought about wrapping that one tiny spot in heat wrap but then again, that might slide down over time. Any thoughts?

Oh yeah, and burning off the Permatex copper spray smells like shit, gave me a headache...

shim the radiator out, i would put a washer or two in between the lower metal bracket that bolts to the block. You don't want them rubbing or touching if you can avoid it at all.
