we wrapped chains around the exhuast manifolds and pulled up on those. It worked fine that way

 

isn't busted manifold studs a problem on the vg??? i wouldn't want to see his post after something went wrong there...

 

Yea they are on both VG and VE I think. But picking up by the exhaust manifold is fine assuming the studs are not broken. I had slings to use, so I took two and brought then down through the exhaust manifold and wrapped them under the oil pan and back up the other side the same as the front. Worked fine for me.

 

how do you know if your exhaust manifold studs are busted? I have an exhaust leak that I think is coming from the exhaust manifold, and I'm going to replace the gasket... does the stud have anything to do with it?

 

Theres usually a distinct tapping rattling noise coming from the manifold area upon acceleration.

 

I will email you some attach point pictures of the set up I used. With the Tranny attached it balanced quite well during removal.

 

ok sweet. i got ur email saying ur going to send me pics ... but none were attached. thanks though for your imput, i guess ill try the exhaust manidfold thing for now.

thanks everyone else, any more info would be greatly appriciated.
thanks,

You need to email me so that I can reply with the attachments. Sending email through the forums does not allow for attachments.

there is a loud clicking noise from the exaust leaking from the location of the broken studs. I replaced mine with hardened 300z studs. Yes, you have to replace the gasket also.

 

Any questions?

 

Yeah, where are the pictures of the engines being swapped in the Aztec Red Max? Those are much better...

 

I've got better engine swap pictures but they're not involving a max

 

You mean that time where I let some hired day labor dudes with bottles of Tequila do an engine swap for $5/day + sandwiches??

 

makes jury duty sound nice, they don't give you sandwiches though...come to think of it, they probably should at least give you lunch for $5-$10/day.

i think i can be counted in on a broken exhaust stud. sound goes away at normal operating temperature though.

 

That would explain the scratches on the fender










just messing with ya jeff...

 

thats how mine started.....then it wouldnt go away after it warmed up. come to find out I had 4 broken studs, 1 on the front and 3 on the back. sounded like i had a munshkin under my car with a megaphone and a deck of cards it got pretty loud to say the least.
