Head Bolts and Exhaust Manifold Studs

Glue Man said

These were taken when it was still light outside. I was able to get it buttoned up and started late last night. The longer studs made it tough to get those triangle shaped washers in between the manifold tubes, but with a little patience it worked out.

I'll take a couple more tonight.

We used one of those small magnets on the extension (Like a radio antenna) and walked them on with the magnet and a screwdriver to hold it on the stud as we took the magnet away.... One at a time.... Very carefully.... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

It worked ok, but it was a little tricky to keep the triangle at the proper angle as if it was too much, you couldn't rotate it back to the center position on the stud. You had to keep that lined up with the magnet and screwdriver... And it wanted to hang from the screwdriver at the wrong angle sometimes.... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

We went slow, one at a time and worked through it...

But we're feeling much better now.... :color:


I like the green on your car... I had a 69 Valiant in that color back in the 90's... :thumblef:
