exhaust manifold bolts

[exchead]

Can you get to the middle two bolts on the exhaust manifold without removing rad and oil cooler,there is a gap between the two so with the right extention socket looks possible?,if rad needs to be removed can it just hang on the hoses to get access useing a bungee to hold it out the way

I should imagine you've already sussed it by now but if you have a quarter inch ratchet, you should be able get to them a little easier. If I remember correctly, removing the oil cooler certainly gives a little more clearance when removing the headers too.

thanks for reply, no not done yet lots of coats of looking at it just need to check how tight the header bolts are as i have a tick on cold start ups thats goes away when warm
