at least a few days in advance start soaking down all the mounting nuts / bolts with your favorite rust buster. Get the grime and goop out of the way so the spray has a chance to seep in, If driving the car during this time wait till the exhaust manifold fully cools before spraying, they crack real easy.. and have a plan to replace the end splt castle nuts, they will certainly be froze to the studs,, and don't be surprised if a stud snaps,, have a plan there too. |

Some of the studs go into the water jacket, I replaced one resulted in coolant everywhere. So don't be shocked if this happens. |
