Exhaust Gasket leak and stud broke

[Easy Ed]

Except for the broken ones, mine came loose without adding anything to them. The broken ones came out using a pair of vise grips. If you want to play it safe go ahead with the penetrating oil on the 12 manifold to head bolts and to the 6 manifold to pipe nuts.

The part number for the bolt is 11518860 and the stealership got me for $1.76 each in 2009 ($21.12 for the 12 of them). For gaskets, I bought them at NAPA and they were, FPG MS92467 for the manifold to head gaskets, the set of 2 was $13.29, FPG 61323 for the manifold to pipe gaskets they were $5.49 each.

Good luck, Ed

P.S. 23,000 miles, mine is at around 90,000 now.

Wow, they want to gouge me 10 bucks a pop for the bolts up here in the great white north. Think I may have to run state side for the bolts!
