I have an 86 IROC 305 TPI, and I just found out that it has an exhaust gasket leak. I wnat to replace the exhaust gaskets, and am wonderin if this is something i should do myself, or let the mechanic handle it. What sort of tools would I need, and would I need a lift or anything. Please give me your opinions.

its kinda a bastard, i would just throw some headers on it while your allready have to take the manifolds off.

 

Hmmm... alot of these cars don't use any gaskets at all in their exhaust systems. I know mine doesn't for instance, and I think you have basically the same stuff I do except for that I have a heat riser valve.

Where is this leak? Have you tried tightening the hardware?
