Is it easy to change exhaust header gaskets in situ
Discussion
I would say "Yes" as I had the manifolds in position before popping the gaskets in from above, then put one of the middle bolts in very loose to hold the position.
I did have the plug leads and coil packs off, so maybe that's why it was easy. No need to take any trim (apart from the clamshell which you don't have) off.

Yes Neil, its blowing very slightly on left bank, noticed some water spitting out on cold start up, when warm it runs fine, but when cold you can hear and see it spitting out in between the back two left outlets.
Cheers araf, I did have a look and it looks an easy job to do, was wondering if the manifold came away from the head to easily pop new one in.

Yeah there's load of space once the bolts are out. There are no brackets to the block or anything so once the manifolds loose they are at the mercy of the cats and exhaust system. Ive had my manifolds off and passenger side took 20 minutes from running to up on axle stand and manifold on the floor !Cheers araf, I did have a look and it looks an easy job to do, was wondering if the manifold came away from the head to easily pop new one in.
