Exhaust Manifold Gasket

[imprl59@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Going from memory here...  The PS pump and brackets need to come off.  Pull the 
exhaust pipe loose at the bottom and take the bolts out of the manifold.  
Wiggle the manifold around, cuss (alot), scrape all the skin off your knuckles. 
 Once an appropriate amount of blood has leaked from your hands the manifold 
will come right out.

If your manifold has never been removed before there are metal keepers around 
the bolts.  You have to bend the edges back to get the the head of the bolt.   
These bolts just love to break!  I can't remembe for sure if the bolts go in to 
the water jacket or not, if they do your block will drain when you pull them 
out.    Also there is no gasket from the factory so don't be suprised when you 
can't find it.

You can find someone to plane the exhaust manifold smooth again and reinstall 
without gasket or just clean it up and slap a gasket in there.  I much prefer 
the clean it up method.
