well I got the dsm and all is well except there appeasr to be an exhaust leak between the manifold an the head. I bought a gasketa nd the manifold looks easy enough to yank off but it also appears that the culprit is a broken stud on the bottom drivers side of the manifold how hard will this stud be to remove?? Is this something I can do ina day provided I can get the damn manifold off

Also the manifold appeasr to have a small crack in it about 1 long but no leaks appear to come from it who makes a nice replacement headr I can put in there but I am still going to do the gasket repar b/c I dont wanna burn any valves but evetually I will put a header there if they make one.
