exhaust manifold removal

[BigPop56]

Im new to mopars, is it normal to get water out of the exhaust bolt holes when removing the bolts? got coolant out of a couple. I just bought a 68 roadrunner all numbers matching car, I have wanted one for many years and finally got one, going to reatore to like new

Yes several of the bolts run into the water jacket and will need sealant when reinstalled

The should be studs though... not bolts.

Yep. Learned that lesson the hard way. Antifreeze tastes great. Yum.

I usually have four or five tubes of that lying around. Good stuff.

That should work well along with a new stud and nut kit like this one.

Snow works great to pick up a large ATF spill....
