I'm actually thinking of cutting this bolt right off lol...
So I got my drivers side cylinder head almost completely off.
All the bolts are off, except the very last head bolt, by the exhaust manifolds. ( Closest to the firewall ).
This bolt is loose, it's almost all the way out, but it hits up against the exhaust manifold that is now hanging, unbolted, and, ofcourse I can't get the head off unless I get this bolt all the way out.
Ideas?

if ur having that much trouble with it, cut it off. u cant reuse stock bolts anyway. if its your last resort, grab a die grinder.

Yah, it's a tight fit though so I was hoping for another choice. I can make it happen though.
I hope the ARP's are easier to install then the stockers are to remove.

If it's doing what I'm thinking then take the header off and it's a lot easier. The bolt will come right out without that thing in the way.

in my 89 camaro i had a similar problem with the passenger side bolt all the way at the back. it was hitting the ac box, so i couldnt get the head off. i undid the passenger side motor mount and lifted that side till it pivoted enough for the bolt to clear. dont know if anything like that is possible in your situation.
