So I'm still having issues with a pissy exhaust leak. Upon seafoaming I saw that lovely opal smoke billowing out from the exhaust manifold. I get it looked at and the gasket needs to be replaced. Anyone changed the passenger side exhaust manifold gasket? Can it be done with typical hand tools and no lift? And exactly what must be done to apply a gasket and what brand is the best?

yes it can be done. I swapped in headers with no lift on a stock engine compartment. Just a jack and jack stands. You will have to place the jack under the motor, unbolt the motor mounts, and raise the motor a lil bit to get to some of the bolts.

What sizes are all the bolts that one would come across in the process?
