Lower manifold won't budge
k guys did the forum search and didn't find what I needed so I am asking for help now. Doing a front cover gasket change+WP, etc along with head gaskets. Everything was going fine until I went to remove the lower manifold. Bolts came out fine and everything if off and out of the way but it will not move, AT ALL!
I have tried what I can think of, need some ideas, ones that work preferably, but sarcasm can't be stopped here usually.
Appreciate the help
Rob

yeah thats what it looks like as there was some orange adhesive in both of the front sides oozed out.
I have basically stood on the thing and pulled without a single mm of movement......all 12 bolts out, fuel rail off, half the eng torn apart since I am doing so much,must be welded on......
Thx for the help, while i was searching I ran into one of your famous Savannah sayings, "just think right now there is a guy in Africa with the same problem and the nearest parts store is 1000 miles away" Thanks for the perspective......

WOW!!! Awesome and frightening, awesome pic, frightening for the passengers of that safari trip!
Thx for keeping me laughing while I bust my knuckles, took some patience, PB Blaster, large screwdriver tenderly applied and she came off nice and easy.......just took me 2 hrs more than planned. Now if I could just get the stupid bolt holding the wire harness on the back of the left head off I'd be doing OK....well better at least
Thx
