Removing 340 heads

Okay, got the manifold off and down out of the way. A little tug with a long screw driver popped it that extra little bit. Put it back on just to make sure it would go without problems. I left the studs in as you suggested. I agree it will make it easier in reinstalling.

I have a set of gaskets for the exhaust. Any advice on yea or nay on using them?
