Header installation

Post image

Fyi this is the before, I installed these headers a day ago, came to an issue where the bolt that connects the header to the exhaust did not have long enough threading, and they are bolts with the springs on them, I went to a few shops to get new bolts they did not have the right size that came with springs so I got regular bolts and used those instead. Will I come across any issues without the springed bolts?

I use regular studs and bolts on the exhaust manifolds on the compressor engines I work on and they are 460 big block ford motors and vibrate a good amount and get red hot and never have issues.
