That was along few months trying to get this fixed and waiting on parts and getting the head’s redone twice. The gasket trick was a huge help though. Trying to hold the gasket and manifold and tighten the bolt is a nightmare. Rock on Twobabe!

Thanks Tim. I appreciate your view.

It was a struggle. I was under a lot of pressure between work and being down two cars. That’s why there wasn’t as many jokes. Thanks for your kind words.

Boom Baby!

I am so behind on responding to comments. Have a great weekend

The second time I loosened the clamp and unbolted the manifold and left them in. The first time I did the heads I removed them and it was a massive pain. I had to unbolt the steering column. Half the time on the entire job was dealing with the exhaust manifolds so I found out you can remove the heads without removing the manifolds. It is a bit of a challenge to get the exhaust manifolds bolted back on with the exhaust system attached but still easier than snaking the manifold back in upon reassembly.
