exhaust manifold gasket

[swynx]

any one have any tricks. they could tell me about for putting on exhaust manifold gaskets. there a pain in the rear especially with the dip stick in the way. thaught about clipping it into 2 sections but idk if thatd be ne easier

just pull the stick soak all bolts in PB or equiv and let sit for 20-30 spraying half way between, and carefully back all the manifold bolts out, i dont disconnect from exhaust pipe either...

i would disconnect it but, on the driver side one of the exhaust bolts is froze up tryed everything i could on a budget including heating it red hot with a blow torch then i broke 3 sockets and 2 extensions on it so... but thanks ill try that
