Ionstorm66 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Can I replace the manifold gaskets without pulling the ypipe? Been a while since I've done a EA, I know you can on EJs. Now that the head has no oil on it, I can see a exhaust stain forming on the passenger side, so need to replace them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Worst case, you might have to remove the support bolt that hangs it from the transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I’ve done it on XTs which are EA vehicles. I’d use OEM gaskets. if all the exhaust nuts are rust welded onto the studs, and pull the studs out of the engine, it’ll be easy. Lol.

Step-a-toe Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Possibly burning out due to threads in head needing first aid. All success in removing studs, sliding new gaskets in can come undone when studs won't tighten - pull it all out again to repair thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
