Randy, I assume since you describe 'bolts and gaskets' rather than 'exhaust clamps' your talking about a type four motor? ....Okay ..... somewhere a long lost memory tells me that this is one of those things that should be simple but can take hours.... Beem a long time since I've done one of these but from memory I think the trick is to actually remove some of the tin at the front (i.e., fan end) of the engine. This allows you to access the top bolt which runs into a little crevice on top of the heat exchanger. It adds a little time but from what I remember it is impossible to undo and adequately tighten this top bolt with the tin there...even after moving the tin it's one of those 1/8 of a turn at a time jobs. Anybody else? I can't remember whether the tin fronting the alternator has to come off or not ?....
