Ah, the fun and games.
Finally getting to the change out on the headers and exhaust.
Nine out of ten manifold bolts came out with only some complaining.
Number ten? Hah! broke right under the bolt head. No luck getting it out today, will try one more time tomorrow, then break out the giant drilling machine.
Left side header is in place, and I'll retorque again in the morning. Really, the hardest part was just fitting it over the oil dipstick tube. (And constantly dropping a wrench.)
When all is done, I'll post some pictures.
Oh, and the manifolds that were in? Looked fine; no cracks, no breaks. Although there was very little gasket remaining under the right side manifold.
If anyone wants the manifolds, make me a reasonable offer+shipping.
I'll post further progress if there is any.
