Okay one last question. I tightened everything down cold do I also want to tighten once hot or only cold?

I want to say thank you everyone that helped with this issue. I got the exhaust machined to remove the broken bolts. He also leveled the mating service between intake and exhaust and adjusted the heat riser. I got everything back together and properly torqued down. When I got in to start her...

Ok good news the bolts tie the exhaust pipe the manifold haveet their demise (manical laugh). I cut one of and bought broke me back loosening the other with brute force. I am going to a machine shop with it to get the broke bolts out. Next question replacement bolts? Stainless graded or what?

Oklacarcollecto Thank you that would certainly be helpfully in this pursuit. I have an aching suspicion that may be my route.

Oldmanmopar Thank you your concerns are exactly the same as mine. I know that cast iron tends to be soft. I think one of them I may be able to get out with a vise grip and I going to try once I get the manifold out. The other one I think I am going to bring to a machine shop. I really don't want...

Okay now that I have the exhaust apart I can see the heat riser is mostly open. I have instructions for removing the counter weight etc on the outside but can you remove the plate and pin? I would like to keep it but obviously it needs to be removed and at least cleaned to make it operate.

Sorry I was hoping to create a little space by bending the bolt.

Ok a little more information. I called a few machine shops I am getting quotes of 55-75 an hour. I can't do that right now so it is going to be up to me. On the broken bolt on the outside edge of the heat riser. I think I can use a pair of vise grips. I have been soaking it in PB Blaster every...

I want to saw it in two but that is the bolt that then goes to the exhaust pipe. I haven't figured out how to get in between. Unless I can just cut through the gasket. Do you think that would work?

Heres a picture from the service manual. Sorry to sore to go take pics right now.

I am considering a cold chisel and split the nut. I also found another one I like which is drill a hole in the side of the nut and fill with penetrating oil. I have not been very successful with the nut/screw extractors. One more method question. What about smacking the bolt a few times and...

I removed my exhaust and intake on my slant six today. I broke one of the bolts linking the heat riser to the intake and there is another bolt that was already broke on the heat riser towards the engine block. First question does anyone have suggestions on how to get those broke bolts out? I...

I am not finding much information on this. Mine is stuck really hard right now. I have sprayed it with PB Blaster Penetrating oil a few times tapped on it with a hammer still no go. What does this do? I am planning on pulling the intake and exhaust off to clean, paint and replace the gaskets...

jeffb I like that I hadn't thought about it but yeah I guess pick three here I come.

For the same price I can do an incinerator muffler or a quiet muffler. I wanted to hear the exhaust a bit but not get rattled out of the car.

So yesterday I decided to get a quote on having my exhaust replaced. It is a little worn and some of the mounts have broken. It is not in bad shape but I want to let it breath a little also. Anyway I was quoted 225 for a 2.25" exhaust from the manifold "donut" straight back with a glass pack...

Anybody? Please I would like to save a few bucks and doing the work myself is a way to do that but I need to know what is involved.

I have no experience with doing exhause work but I am familiar with plumbing and running things like that. I need to replace my exhaust. How hard is it and does it NEED to be welded or can you use compression fittings? Is there a kit?
