Dissassembly can be a pain depending on how rusted things are. You really
don't want to break off a bolt in the head. If you have time start soaking
things down with wd40 days in advance.

I am purchasing a used 1988 boat with OMC V8 FWC engine also 1988 and
would like to start off with brand new manifolds and risers. But I have
not done this before. Has
anyone done the changing themselves, or is this a job best left to the
boatyard/mechanics? Any experiences, positive or negative, doing
this job will be appreciated.
Thanks
