Exhaust Manifold Replacement Part 1: Project Green Machine 1995 F250

I like the shorty header idea.Now is the best time while you have open space to work with

[@QuickSpeedShop]

I wanted to, but this is going to be my winter truck and a lot of people have had trouble with header gasket leaks. The last thing I want is to be working on the exhaust in the dead of winter. Going to stick with manifolds, but will do an air pump delete in a future video.

@@QuickSpeedShop I don't blame you there, I always had my header issues in the winter time

This is super helpful and makes me glad I have a couple years earlier that doesn’t have the EGR system 😅

PS. I always whack a rusty bolt on the head with a hammer first to loosen up the rust before I slap a wrench on it. It really helps! Give it a few good whacks just to make sure!

[@frontporchpickin289]

You saying that makes me think it could be wise to hit the head of bolts like these with a blunt tip air chisel real quick. Def going to wrap the head harder than anything we can do by hand with little swinging room

Great work thanks for sharing

[@sethskrt728]

Good video. Glad to know what I’m getting in to.

I'm contemplating doing this job myself. Good to see what all is involved. I think it'd be very similar to what you suffered through... The parts are cheap, but if one of those studs breaks.... UGH. Nightmare fuel.

[@frontporchpickin289]

Did you heat the actual bolt or around the bolt? I would think heating the bolt just expands it larger making it harder to back out?

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Heat helps no matter what. You're heating the bolt and surrounding metal, both expand.

[@hughmackellar7941]

Headers! Yes!

[@maxcinta5760]

Have you ever heard of Panther-Piss? It is the best Solvent Penetrating Oil rusty bolt release agent ever. You mix acetone 50/50 with ATF. Look it up, it is the best of the best! If you don't like it; you always have your torch.

I've had good results using Kroil.

[@cointrader9288]

project green machine!!!

[@tdejew]

any exhaust work sucks, unless its brand new, good luck

[@QuickSpeedShop]

That's why I'm going stock on the engine, hoping for longevity. Do have some custom action planned from the cat back...
