Was hoping there was a short cut without having to do that. I knew that's what had to happen but just too lazy to do it

Didn't you say you were trying to take the head off?

Yea oil is leakin on the exhaust manifold And it's smokin because of it. Changin the gaskets and some other things. A lot of stuff to do on this car maintance and mods wise. Learning as we go

I think you're trying to replace the valve cover gaskets.

The head gaskets are between the engine block and the head. The valve cover gaskets are between the top of the head and the valve cover.

I didn't write the original posty friend did. We will probably end up replacing all most all the gaskets in it while we're in there cars almost at 200k
