Well that went better than expected so far, used camera function on autel scan tool no old gasket left on head or manifold so that good the bolts are in rough shape some of the threads not right cleaned the far right one up re died it 3/8 curse thread with 7/17 head for spanner, then on wire brush on bench grinder , do i change over to new stud and nut in stead of bolts???? can be seen been blowing for some time black sooted up gasket and bolt threads didnt use ramp as if job went pear shaped the heads would of needed to come of didnt want to tie the ramp up so 2 rear bolts access through wheel arch ,

Did you get to use your new 'heating up bolts' tool?

Maybe the last person that put them in put some anti seize stuff on the threads? Fingers crossed the other side is as easy.
 
Put TA on the ramp to check underneath from doing gasket. And to grease all the nipples. Found damper ( shock) loose nut rusted on used heat to remove it took shock of car to rethread it and new nyloc shock felt a bit week sod I ordered new pair so thought I would take the other one of ready that was a pain this didn't feel that good and both very rusty so good job I did order. So did a bit of tidy up of washer pump. Hose and battery cables use my rivet nut set and rubber p clips
