Exhaust manifold gaskets
How hard is it to replace the exhaust manifold gaskets on an 80 L48? I think my passenger side exhaust manifold gasket is causing an exhaust leak so I want to replace them soon, is it hard to do?

getting the bolts out is the hard part. I got tired of the frozen bolts and started using stainless steel bolts and anti seze. No problems.
i use copper exhaust manifold gaskets. They don't blow out like standard gaskets.
