I assume that the comment above refers to the often encountered difficulty in getting the 6 steel manifold bolts out of the aluminum cylinder heads without snapping them off?
If so, having the bolts out thus offers the perfect occasion to replace the lot of them with M8 x 42 mm long studs and matching SS flanged nuts
Years from now, whoever might have any need to remove these manifolds will thank you for your efforts to "stud" them today!
