In order to pass inspection for plates, I have to remove and replace/repair the drivers side exhaust manifold it as it's cracked above the heat riser valve. I gave the top row of bolts a try to see what I was dealing with and as one would expect, nothing budged. The lower bolts are hard to reach as the upper control arm is kinda in the way. Taking the heads off would be one way to deal with it on the bench, but it's a gently driven 86,000. mi engine that runs real well with good oil pressure. Once removed, there is a shop that welds cast metal and can repair the crack. I would love some advice as to my next move. The car has other issues to deal with to pass inspection, but this is the most pressing.
