So I am going to do a nice smooth solder job with the two resistors.
And give that a go.
Can I also put a section of shrink tube over them..or do you think it will melt in there?

You can use heat shrink, but use it only on the leads, not the resistors because it'll interfere with their cooling.
I take it that the two resistors in the photo that are in series are the 1.5meg 2 watt ones between the anode and cathode of the two 5642s. If you notice the solder joints on the 5642s, that what you want yours to look like. Though it's not as critical as it is for them. The service notes remark that it is important for the 5642s that they be smooth blobs. The problem is that they packed everything so close together.
