Exhaust manifold questions.....

[ONE_QUIK_6]

Alright guys, I got my manifolds off and I dont see any cracks. I think that I will go over it again, but when I put it back on does anyone have any suggestions on bolts or studs? Someone once told me that getting rid of the studs are a good idea, what do you guys think?? And is there anything else that I should look at while my car is torn do this far? Thanks for the help.

If you still have the heat shield on the d/s, you'l need to remove this in order to see the crack [that is there] between #3 & #5 cyls. You only need studs for the upper and lower of #1, and upper of #3 for the accessories and dipstick. p/s is all SS bolts on mine as well.
