not when the bolts are behind the header tubes.  only thing you can get in there is an close ended box wrench, a gear wrench or any type of socket is no where near fitting.

I've done it twice. They're annoying, but I got it done in about 4 hours. The two in the middle are the most annoying. Trick is to have them in about 2 turns before you set the exhaust manifold in place.

i didnt have that choice since all electricals and cables and fluids / vac lines were still hooked and manifolds were kinda in there place.  starting the bolts were easy just getting tools on them past finger tight, and having the half step washers correctly aligned blind by feel.... such a silly design to have the intake flange thicker than that exhaust flange, but have one bolt hold the two on to the head, in 9 places...


i billed 3 hours for cleaning of head/ surfaces, install, torque, power steering pump install, and oil filter/oil change
