8V exhaust manifold gasket




While my '86 'Rocco 8V was at a local shop for yearly inspection, they pointed
out that the exhaust manifold gasket (where the manifold mounts to the head)
was a bit blown out. Sure enough, they let me look, and there are a few bits
of gasket flapping up there. They want five hours of labor to replace it.

Any comments on doing this job? (without having the head off of course) The
studs seem sure to break - rusty and nasty - and access is tough. What's the
remedy for broken studs - drill and re-tap? Of ocurse I don't have a lift -
just ramps. Replies CC'ed direct to me are much appreciated.
