Exhaust manifold removal? Need help now!
I’m tying to install my headers and having problems getting the exhaust manifolds off. I think I have removed all of the bolts, but it is not giving at all. Any hints!
Also a little concerned about how I will guide the dipstick back in place, since I had to remove it. Any hints on this would also be appreciated.

Did you check the lower bolts. They are top and bottom alternating. Check with a small mirror. If all are removed, tap with a rubber mallet.
The Dipstick will need to be tweeked ever so gently (be careful so you don't crimp it). Use a small open end wrench that will stay above the seat ring on the exterior of the tube to allow you to push it the rest of the way home.
