Re: Exhaust Manifold Recommendation - need some advice
It is definately the exhaust manifold....Completely cracked at the "Y" where
the 2 down pipes are welded together. I have taken a few pics so far, will
post them tonight after I clean up.
Haven't finished the removal yet...need some advice.
I have all of the fuel injection off, all of the connectorss, etc...I have
all of the top manifold bolts off and the two lower end nuts. I'm having a
hard time getting at the remaining lower bolts. Any helpful suggestions? It
looks difficult to get to from below, my arms are just too big, and I can't
seem to get a good angle from above.
If you would reply to me direct that would be great. Also copy it here in
case someone else needs this info.
Thanks!

I had to remove the PS pump and intake box then squeeze my hand between
the block and exhaust manifold. Used a crecent wrench to get the bolt out.

I can't imagine a crescent being good for anything other than the
old square type gear box drains.
