If your talking about the 2 big bolts where pipe mounts to manifold when I cant get them off I just cut them with a Sawzall and replace bolts .So, I got the rails/rocker arms off on the passenger side today, but got a hard stall on removing passenger manifold to exhaust bolts. The nut and bolt are free spinning together and it was getting dark, so I called it a night. Gonna be out of town this weekend, but anyone have tips to get this Bee Eye Tea Sea H off? I don't have a machine shop, I am doing this under a 3 sided dirt floor barn with harbor freight tools lol.

When you say "seized," do you mean the lifter would not compress?Got drivers side heads off. Cylinder 5 exhaust lifter was seized as suspected and flattened on the roller
pretty sure when people say a seized lifter they are talking about the roller being seized in place. IE no longer rolling. which causes it to grind across the lobe of the cam wearing it down.When you say "seized," do you mean the lifter would not compress?
