I recently noticed that my right bank head gasket was leaking and I went and got all the stuff I need. I am all the way down to the heads and need to take the manifolds off, but most of the bolts are snapped off and others are impossible to get at without taking a lot of stuff out. What can I do to get the heads off? Should I just pull the entire engine so I can get the broken bolts out of the heads? Would that be easier?

 

If you can disconnect the exhaust from the exhaust manifold do that, and just take the heads off with the manifolds on it. You are going to have to disconnect the exhaust somewhere if you pull the entire, and that would be way to much work for the job you are doing. Or you can just bust all the bolts off and worry about getting them out after you get the heads off the engine.

 

One problem with that, The bolts are so rusted out that I turned it a little and the head on the bold vanished. Also I can't really get a drill down in there to dill the bolt out.
