It was a nice day out today so I took advantage of it and took off the exhaust manifolds , all the bolts came out nice and easy thanks to spraying pb blaster on them every time I was under the hood.I still have to take out the 4 studs in the center of the block , I think I might try some JB weld and a nut on there and hopefully that will let the studs walk out easy.Also with the manifolds off and the exhaust out of the way it gives me a lot of room to put in the control arms , so I might do that tomorrow if it is as nice as it was today.I also have to fab up a plate for the EGR tube on the headers as it did not come with a plate , only a gasket if you have EGR.I also installed my new fog light units and the HID for the fog lights , I will have to adjust them yet , but they look great.
