Message: [QUOTE="obs7.3, post: 389515, member: 4511"] the only reason the heads are coming off is because the manifold bolts are about rotted all the way thru between the block and manifold. the heads of the manifold bolts are seized to the manifold so their probably going to break. or round off. that's what i figured just from me looking at it. when i took it to a few performance shops all of them said the same thing "heads have to come off to get those manifold bolts out". there's not enough bolt left for a stud remover to grab the bolts to get them out of the head if the bolt heads are cuts off so their going to have to be drilled. i know it's not good to pull the heads unless the gasket is blown but i've got new head gaskets for it. like i said, i figured while the heads are off i'll stud it and do the valve work. unless someone has another suggestion? i'm open to anything. i just want this done right.
