Just a note: One problem with these things is that the studs holding the exhaust manifold are pretty small and often rust. My car was purchased and started much like yours, with a roaring exhaust leak. Anyway, the bottom line was that I had to take my heads off to get the exhaust manifold studs out. This is just a suggestion. It is not a bad idea to replace the old studs with larger sturdier studs. I realize some people won't like that idea, but, it might make them easier to get off next time. That's what I did.
