Removing Exhaust Manifold Ford Lehman 120 hp

[kajoomla]

I am attempting to remove the exhaust manifold.

Have removed all hoses and clamps.

Have removed all 6 top bolts (3 3/4" long)
Have removed all 7 bottom bolts (1 1/4" long)

The manifold has come away from the block about 1/4" but will not pull away.

What am I missing?

Thanks!
Bruno

Hi, bruno the uper long bolts are threaded into a sleeve which connects to the head. Pry the manifold from the bottom carefully. The sleeves are rusty. It maybe necessary to work the manifold in and out to free up the rust. Grand banks engine??
