Help! Exhaust Manifold issue
Hey Guys,
I am putting my Exhaust manifolds on and the Drivers Side is not lining up. I bought a use one as my original was damaged. Am I screwed? I have bolts 1,2,3 in, but four won't go. |
Never mind I got it on, this kicked my butt a little. |
So, the # 4 bolt was not lining up, prolly had a hard time as the heads are on the engine. First, chase the holes! Second, I got 1,4,8, 6 in followed by the bottom. First butt kicking today. |
This is def the time to take your time, step away for a moment if needed, double check everything. Keep at it!

The Bolts were difficult to get in so I added a middle torque sequence/ I did 11, 20, 28 instead of just 11 and 28. Might have been a good Idea to do them before installing the head gaskets, but without a tool bench and garage that would have been very challenging. |
I don't think that you *can* install the exhaust headers before the head gasket!
|
^^^correct.
|
Doesn’t he do that in the AB video? I could be wrong. |
AB vid has the manifolds attached to the heads for removal and install.
:dunno: |
Be careful installing the exhaust manifold gaskets, it is very easy to get them turned around and put them on backwards. Be sure to use Never-Seez on the bolts.
