exhaust manifold gaskets

[jason13]

Hey can anyone give me some tips on the easiest way to change my exhaust manifold gaskets on my 89 bronco? The drivers side looks pretty straight forward but the passenger side is pretty cramped. I was just wondering if anyone has done this and has any tricks besides yanking everything out around the heater box. Thanks.

Yank the the passenger side inner fender or go from under & use heat and penetrant

If however, you do it from above, you will need to remove the passenger side accessories and smog lines running to the back. and then go from there. Use a impact ratchet on those bolts they're pretty solid just be careful not to brake any.

that's probably the way I'll go I just have to remember to label everything as I rip it apart. BTW your motor looks sweet. Can't wait till I have the cash to do something like that.

the gaskets werent to hard to replace but i also had my engine down to the heads and figured why not lol
