Default exhaust manifold gasket
Any tips on replacing passenger side exhaust manifold gasket? my 2000 4.0 sounds like a diesel currently. Any how-to's, steps by steps, basic tips are appreciated. thanks

Buy new studs. Soak the old ones with PB Blaster for a few days let them sit. You may want to have it good n hot...

i had mine hot as hell and they came out fine on my 94...
