I'm replacing the oil pan gasket and con rod bearings so I'll probably be doing this stuff any way. Thank you very Much!!!</STRONG>

Also, when you reinstall the crosspipe, the factory manual says that you should loosen the header nuts, tighten the turbo to crosspipe and crosspipe to header bolts, then tighten the head to header nuts last. This should minimize stress on the exhaust system, which obviously is a major cause of exhuast system cracks.

Well I did it. I strippedout one of the hex bolts. Luckily it was the Long one , and it is a straight shot between the cross member and the driver's side power steering boat. Maybe a can go buy a really LONGbit tomorrow and "un-screw" myself.
