What are the chances that I could just tighten the nuts which hold the heat exchangers on without pulling the studs out?
I'm about to set the car up for a morning valve adjustment and figured I'd spray the exhaust nuts with pb blaster and let it soak overnight in hopes of tightening them up. |

Replace the copper gaskets that go between the heads and the heat exchangers. Be careful not to over tighten the nuts on the studs. It can cause the ears on the heat exchangers to bend, and pulled studs for the exhaust.
Remember, everything on these engines tightens up when they get hot. Oh.. and be careful putting a stud back in the head. It is easy to over torque them and rip the threads out of the head. |
