[DML] Exhaust manifold gasket... replaced!!!

["Adam 16683" <acprice1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I finally replaced my driver's side exhaust manifold gasket and what 
a difference!!! It sounds like a car again!

I was surprized at how easy it was really. The most difficult thing 
was the top-most flange nut. But wasnt too bad using a jointed socket 
extension. Not one stud broke! All the nuts came off no problem 
except for one and that one the stud came out with the nut attached.

The studs werent even that rusted, in fact 5 of them I would consider 
reusable. But I didnt reuse any.

Also it looks to me that the leaking gasket may have been damaged 
during installation by whoever installed it long ago.. And the new 
one-piece gaskets are awesome!
