Will the head come out with the manifolds attached? Its pretty tight in there and definitely didnt look doable with them attached.

In order for me to get the bolt off easily I torched and bent my wrench at the open end, then grinded the sides down about 1/16th of an inch. Then I took my dremel cut a v into the inside of the wrench end to give that stupid bolt a place to sit. Now it only take me 20$ to get that bolt off each time.

Why 20 bucks? Because I pay the neighbor kid to come over and take the bolt out while I get a Corona and check the ESPN scores.

I'm glad I have the right tools for the job. I pull off the ps pulley and unbolt the pump. It takes me about 10 minutes to get it off. ... Glad to see you got it done, though. And yes, you can take the head off with the exhaust manifold still on.
