Since my "critical engine failure", I've been forced to accept the realities of my budget, and replace the head gaskets in place. I have a few questions before I get started: 1. The workshop manual shows a special tool to hold up the timing sprocket. Do I have to have this tool or is there another safer way? 2. My exhaust manifolds are not in great shape and I don't want to damage them anymore. Can I just disconnect them from the muffler and the "U" pipe and leave them attached to the heads? 3. I have been told that removing the manifolds is "easy" by some folks on list. #5335 has been in a very damp environment for years and the nuts and studs are fused together by rust. I don't even see how I can get at them all without removing the engine even if they weren't rusted. Is there something I don't know? 4. In short, can this job be done with the engine in place or should I be removing it? Thanks, Rich #5335
