    Do they make a plog install kit or does anyone have the thread specs on the manifold bolts so I can buy some. I'd get them on zzp I just am an impatient person and want to get my plog on.

    I've been soaking them down with pb blast on and off for about 2 weeks now so I'm hoping they should all come out easily. Any tips on taking them out??

    two weeks and things aren't coming apart yet? poor engine
    I have two that are snapped and the PLOG seals just fine on the remaining four studs so don't have a heart attack if something breaks.

    my manifold bolts came right out, reused them twice now. one stud/nut combo dont come apart, its got two nuts but one dont move. its the one holding the dip stick tube in place. make sure that one goes back in where it came out.

    the two ends are nuts on a stud, just take the nuts off leave the studs in place, they hold the gasket in place for you. re use the stock gasket.

    I took mine off of a 240~k mile pile of sh1t in about 30~ minutes.

    Exhaust stuff, minus the catback and downpipe bolts...should be the last thing that snaps.

    They came out no problem when installing on my 168k mile regal. Used a 3/8" breaker bar and 6 pt deep socket to break them loose, even the xover bolts came out just fine after soaking with PB ~30 minutes before removal. Just worked them back and forth until they turned nice and smooth. If you break one of those, I believe it's rocker bolts that will work in their place.
