Exhaust Manifold Gasket Trouble

**MXTRBO** · 2-11-02, 18:01

i'm having trouble with my 89 gt... the header's bolts are vibrating out beacause the previous owner stripped them a little. the exhaust manifold gasket is slipping out the bottom...

the major problem is that to get my headers off you practically have to take off the turbo and some piping. this would involve draining all my anitfreeze out and causing a big mess i'm afraid...

does anyone know how i can do this myself with a little less hassle?? i'm more of a do-it-myself sorta guy... plus i'm trying to save some money for performance mods on my car...

thanks,
Frank

i have done my exhaust manifold gasket twice now i am running 7 layer stanless steel one.

you basicaly have to take out the turbo and dump piping i even removed the radiator to make things a little easyer. gives more room to work with.
