What a nasty job. Thought I had a bad ggasket, but pulled a spare manifold off a parts engine before I started just in case. Turned out to be a hole in the manifold right near an exhaust port. Very tough thing to change in the car, might have been easier to pull the head! Wouldn't tackle this one without a hoist.
Did you take the intake manifold off first?
I would like to see a picture..
Post one up?
Sorry, no pics. Did NOT pull the intake manifold. Had trouble with one nut on the top side (#3) wound up breaking the manifold off to get access to the nut. Hole was on the #2 cylinder. Would have been a lot easier with teh engine out, if I was working at home it's the only way I could have done the job.
